Kharms Excerpt

The Winged Elephant has an excerpt of the new Kharms book that, like most of Kharms’s writing, is short, precise, hysterical and fantastic.

This is all I can comfortably quote here without violating free use rules:

One day Orlov stuffed himself with mashed peas and died.

When a story opens like that, you just have to keep reading. And you can do so here.
