In Russia Platonov is increasingly considered the best writer of the post-revolutionary epoch yet he has not so far enjoyed the international reputation that he deserves. To a large extent, this is because he fell from favour with the Soviet authorities and suffered years of exile and labour in the gulags. Much of his finest work was suppressed for up to sixty years. Combining an almost scientific realism with a poetic vision and a strong feeling for the traditional Russian folk tale, Platonov managed to get deep under the skin of the Soviet regime, vividly presenting the dreams of the builders of socialism in all their inarticulate confusion. The ten stories in The Return present the full range of Platonov’s gifts to an...

"You have entered the rooms of the Russian Museum Outside, beyond the walls of the palace, there has remained the noisy city. In the palace you find yourselves in the realm of calm and silence - a calm of museum suites, a silence of paintings, sculptures and drawings. But are they really silent? The museum can be compared to a giant theatre and its rooms to the stage where a grand performance is under way. Like a usual performance this pageant of art is built up of numerous mise-en-scenes - only here they are arrested for ever (or probably for a moment?) in thousands of pictures, statues and engravings. Look at them closely-and you will discern the well-known theatrical genres: tragedy, drama, comedy and pastoral. And literary forms...
