should i start reading russian avant-garde theater
#that's a trick question. all true diana britneyshakespeare fans know i don't consider your input on any matter whatsoever#tales from diana#as ive made quite a lot this summer out of reading all my old plays ive had for awhile#cracking open books ive had for years for the first time#ive decided that this week i shall breathe existence into avant garde drama: a casebook (1976) which i mustve bought at savers...#probably before the pandemic to be honest#for no particular reason im gonna start w yury olesha (his name anglicized here as yurii olyesha)'s 'the conspiracy of feelings'#i do like that title a lot#it's in the middle of the book#you know i'm very grateful to have basically no life again. for only the fact that it's allowed me to get a lot more reading done#i remember a few years ago when i started to emerge from my reclusion being like 'i havent finished a book in months'#not a problem anymore#but ive mainly been reading plays lately. but thats good bc ive always preferred plays over novels#i dont know (and i confess this shamefully) if ive ever read a play originally written in russian before#another book ive had for years that i bought at savers but still have yet to open is masterpieces of the russian drama vol. 1 (1961)#maybe ill have to open that one when im done w olyesha
