V krugu sebia [Among Yourself]

For the first time, a book of humorous improvisations, parodies, comic poems, stories and messages by David Samoilov (1920-1990) is published in its most complete form. A special place in it is occupied by mischievous works about the fictional country of Kurzyupia - its history, philosophy, poetry, as well as the grammar of the Kurzyup language. These texts were not intended by D. Samoilov for publication and were circulated among a narrow circle of people close to the author. And yet, in the end, they came to the general reader.
