Beyond Tula: A Soviet Pastoral

Combining burlesque absurdism and lofty references to classical literature with a tongue-in-cheek plot about an industrializing rural proletariat, Beyond Tula--subtitled "a Soviet pastoral"--actually appeared in the official Soviet press in 1931. This novel offers an uproarious romp through the earnestly boring and unintentionally campy world of early Soviet "production" prose.
