About the author
Venedikt Erofeev
30听books105听followersVenedikt Vasilyevich Erofeev (袙械薪械写懈泻褌 袝褉芯褎械械胁) was a Russian writer.
He managed to enter the philology department of the Moscow State University but was expelled from the University after a year and a half because he did not attend compulsory military training.
Later he studied in several more institutes in different towns including Kolomna and Vladimir but he has never managed to graduate from any, usually being expelled due to his "amoral behaviour" (freethinking).
Between 1958 and 1975 Yerofeyev lived without propiska in towns in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania, also spending some time in Uzbekistan and Tadjikistan, doing different low-qualified and underpaid jobs.
Yerofeyev is best known for his 1969 poem in prose Moscow-Petushki (several English translations exist, including Moscow to the End of the Line and Moscow Stations). It is an account of a journey from Moscow to Petushki (Vladimir Oblast) by train, a journey soaked in alcohol. During the trip, the hero recounts some of the fantastic escapades he participated in, including declaring war on Norway, and charting the drinking habits of his colleagues when leader of a cable laying crew.
Yerofeyev died of throat cancer.

Genre of drinking songs is known since the ancient times and by writing his drinking poem Venedikt Erofeev managed to widen boundaries of the genre significantly. Moscow to the End of the Line is written in a gloomy but frilly vers libre.
The protagonist awakens to a fine and crisp morning full of freshness鈥�
And using commuter rail the hero embarks on the epochal suburban journey. And some local travels can be much more exotic than any voyages around the world鈥� While travelling one may encounter a lot of intriguing fellow commuters鈥�
And the travelled distance corresponds to the consumed liquor鈥� And the more one drinks the stranger becomes the world and the more enigmatic turns reality鈥�
Even the most hopeless boozers must have their romantic ideals鈥�
The protagonist awakens to a fine and crisp morning full of freshness鈥�
Oh, that morning burned in the heart! Oh, the illusory nature of calamity. Oh, the irretrievable! What鈥檚 worse about this burden which no one has yet called by any name, what鈥檚 worse 鈥� paralysis, or nausea? Nervous exhaustion or mortal sorrow somewhere in the region of the heart? But, if that all equal, then all the same what鈥檚 worse about it 鈥� tetanus, or fever?
And using commuter rail the hero embarks on the epochal suburban journey. And some local travels can be much more exotic than any voyages around the world鈥� While travelling one may encounter a lot of intriguing fellow commuters鈥�
The other passengers looked at me almost indifferently with their round, vacant eyes.
I like that. I like that my country鈥檚 people have such empty, bulging eyes. This instills in me a feeling of legitimate pride. You can imagine what the eyes are like where everything is bought and sold 鈥� deeply hidden, secretive, predatory and frightened. Devaluation, unemployment, pauperism鈥� People look at you distrustfully, with restless anxiety and torment. That鈥檚 the kind of eyes they have in the world of Filthy Lucre.
And the travelled distance corresponds to the consumed liquor鈥� And the more one drinks the stranger becomes the world and the more enigmatic turns reality鈥�
If I should ever have any children, I鈥檒l hang on their wall a portrait of the Procurator of Judaea, Pontius Pilate, so that they will grow up neat and clean. Procurator Pontius Pilate standing there washing his hands 鈥� that鈥檚 the right kind of portrait.
Even the most hopeless boozers must have their romantic ideals鈥�

Imagine a drunken Dante on an epic railway journey to nowhere, pondering the merits of various cocktails made from furniture polishes and solvents, debating the meaning of life and the worth of his soul, hilarious and tragic by turns. That'll give you a rough idea of what it's like to fall into this book. A delight every time I reread it.

March 19, 2020Maybe the best book about Brezhnev's Russia imaginable. If you are the kind of person who has ever got drunk with friends, stormed a police station and then declared war on Norway then you will find much here that is familiar.
It's a book rich in allusion starting from the title (Moscow to Petushki) and structure, which is reminiscent of Radishchev's ,whose description of the country landed the author in a certain secure facility at the pleasure of her Imperial Highness Catherine II - it doesn't pay always to be too truthful about the homeland, but also in cocktail recipes (all of which are firmly in the 'do not try at home' category). My father once working with a pair of alcoholics asked them how do you know when you've become an alcoholic and got past the probationary period of merely being a heavy drinker, said the first: when you find yourself straining metal polish. To which the second said: Nah, nah, you know that you're an alcoholic when you drink your metal polish neat . And the cocktail recipes are much of that kind, combining eye watering products such as Soviet medicated shampoos, the spiritual states that one finds ones self in after drinking are thoroughly detailed for the readers enlightenment.
It's a drunken, tragic, comic book with some beautiful graphs plotting the daily drinking of a small team of theoretical cable layers who due to the drinking never seem to reach the phase of practical application. These graphs cost the narrator his job. That's the kind of story this is. In other words it is a story about Breshnev's Russia in which opting out is achieved curtsey of our old friend intoxicating liquor. But in a sense I've started this review from the bottom of the wrong glass. The narrator is on a train to visit his sweetheart, guarded by angels, with a bottle or two of spirits in his case in the event of the angels not being quite up to the job. He once worked laying cables in the vicinity of the Kremlin - a building he tells us repeatedly that he's never seen. The work is reflective of Breshnev's Russia, they do a day's work in good weather, then rain obliges them to shelter in their rest hut with a bottle of the good stuff. Rain ruins cable, requiring them to relay cable in good weather. Repeat.
Anyway a degree of freedom is achieved through enslavement to the bottle. While journeying towards Petushki, the narrator meets, inevitably, other drinkers, and has a close encounter with the ticket inspector whose awful authority is warded off only through a Sherizhardian story touching upon the conviction and obsessive fascination that the Soviet people the author says have that foreigners are forever engaged in homosexual activity, and the coming of the end times when the femme fatal of the east will remove her final veil - a prospect that even in imagination proves too overwhelming for the unfortunate conductor - again I offer this up as no substitute for responsible professional advice, I personally have stuck to buying a ticket - not that I wish to suggest that British train conductors are adverse to good rambling story.
Any way our narrator has a rich cultural conversation with his fellow band of drinkers in which the author discusses, possibly even invents, the concept of vicarious drunkenness - so for example Goethe in Faust can remain a teetotaller, or a modest imbiber because he has sub-contracted his hedonism to his characters - just as in through careful yoga and long meditation one can explore and experience lives one will never live so too writing for Erofeev allows authors vicarious vices. By analogy one notes that but for the lucky circumstance of a market for crime fiction its authors would be dangerous people to live near to. He has for me an unforgettable paragraph on the prim and proper and entirely sober Rimsky-Korsakov coming across Modest Mussorgsky , drunk and asleep in a ditch, prodding him with his walking stick and telling him to get back to work on his immortal opera , only as soon as Rimsky-Korsakov's back is turned Mussorsky abandons the working desk for the bottle. And that's the kind of book this is. Mussorsky due to excessive drinking died with most of his musical projects unfinished, the orchestration generally done by other far more restrained hands including Rimsky-Korsakov's . And in a way the entire novel is an indictment or perhaps a statement of the way things are - after a hard day one reaches for a glass, in a hard society one reaches for a bottle, and being prodded with an elegant walking stick doesn't really rearrange the fundamental experience of life.

Recently, I drank beer with a friend whose native language is Arabic. As our bottles clinked, I asked him if there was anything we could say in Arabic that would be appropriate, such as "cheers", na zdorovya, etc. 鈥淣o鈥�, he laughed, 鈥渋t is prohibited!鈥� I then asked if there was an Arabic word for "hangover." No, he said. Not even some sort of impolite or forbidden word, I asked, or a word to describe people from other countries who鈥檝e had too much alcohol, and what they experience when they wake up the next morning? No one who spoke Arabic ever observed such a thing and wanted to describe it? The closest thing, he told me, is a word that simply means "out of one鈥檚 mind", which, from the perspective of a native English speaker, isn鈥檛 very close at all.
Yesterday I thought of this book, and I got to wondering how many words Russian has for "hangover." I know of one, bodoon, but I get the impression there may be others. On the last page of my used copy of Moscow to the End of the Line, or Moskva-Petushki, there is written in pencil, under the questions 鈥渕ake a fig?鈥� and 鈥渕oney to buy drinks?鈥�, a 鈥渞ecipe鈥� for a drink called 鈥淭ear of a Komsomol Girl鈥�, a recipe that looks to me like it鈥檚 potentially fatal. When I asked my Russian teacher about it, she said that people really drank things like this during the Soviet Union. She also said the book is one of her favorites.
I think I can understand why. Along with A Confederacy of Dunces, it鈥檚 one of the few genuinely funny books I鈥檝e read- and like that book, also very sad. A man, having recently been fired from his job, gets on a train in Moscow, intending to go to Petushki- the end of the line. He meets all sorts of characters on the train, real and imagined, including, inevitably, the devil, who demands that the man answer impossible and scatological riddles.
I don鈥檛 want to spoil anything, but as the book went along, and the man got closer to his destination, I got a clearer understanding of what Yerofeyev was trying to do- and the sense of tragedy, of a life passing by in a haze, and the large-scale tragedy of Communism, became more apparent. The book is a little like a night of drinking heavily; everything at first seems enjoyable and humorous, then you start to feel depressed and vaguely ill, and realize you shouldn鈥檛 be urinating off the edge of the roof鈥nd if you鈥檝e really drunk too much, maybe you drift into some awful realm of the spirit like the one depicted in the last 20 or so pages. Maybe there鈥檚 a word for that in Russian.
I don鈥檛 know much about Yerofeyev鈥檚 life, but I get the sense that he lived his book. I watched a small part of a documentary about him, and when he was interviewed he was lying on a couch in his apartment, barely able to move, speaking through a hole in his throat. I don鈥檛 know how old he was at the time, but the back cover of the book says that he lived only to 55. Moscow to the End of the Line and Walpurgis Night, or The Steps of the Commander (which I haven鈥檛 yet read) seem to be the only novels of his translated into English. The back cover mentions two other titles with intriguing names, Annunciation and Notes of a Psychopath, but I don鈥檛 know if they鈥檝e been translated.

C卯nd s-a publicat prima dat膬, 卯n 2006, traducerea acestui roman a iscat o 卯nver葯unat膬 disput膬 literar膬. Unii au pretins c膬 e vorba de o capodoper膬, de o carte-cult. Al葲ii au fost mai pu葲in entuziasma葲i: fac parte din r卯ndul acestor neferici葲i...

Venedikt Erofeev (1938 - 1990) a fost, desigur, un prozator foarte inteligent, bun manipulator de lecturi, ingenios (pagina cu 卯ntreb膬rile Sfinxului e memorabil膬, ca 葯i sf卯r葯itul c膬r葲ii), teribilist, ironic, pi葯icher. Dar poemul 鈥瀖etafizic" r膬m卯ne, am impresia, 卯n pur膬 gratuitate. P卯n膬 la urm膬, care e miza acestui exerci葲iu succint de virtuozitate narativ膬? Greu de spus...

La o a doua lectur膬, pe paragrafe, mi-am propus s膬 identific (la r卯ndu-mi) aluziile neremarcate de traduc膬tor 葯i exege葲i. Sau pe acelea care nu s卯nt semnalate 卯nadins la subsol. Am identificat o aluzie la (v膬 vine s膬 crede葲i?) marele Rabelais. 脦ntr-un pasaj, naratorul zice c膬 a stat un timp 卯n camer膬, la Orehovo-Zuevo, cu patru buni amici. El era al cincilea.

E gi霉 a bere
La leggenda di Venedikt Erofeev ci consegna un antieroe negativo, un nomade metafisico, un profeta illegittimo nell'oscura cultura sovietica, come ben testimoniano le voci raccolte dall'ottimo e vitale Paolo Nori. Mosca-Petusk矛 猫 il suo trattato sul fatalismo necessario, dallo stile enfatico e burlesco; si tratta di un libro basato sulla convinzione che 鈥渢utti gli uomini di valore in Russia bevono come spugne鈥�, perch茅 in un mondo di menzogne solo l'alcol non mente. Si diffuse clandestinamente come samizdat, diventando un classico in breve tempo. Poema dello zapoj, l'ubriacatura di lungo corso, ammirato da Eduard Limonov, 猫 un testo dionisiaco e fantastico, che mescola in una ricetta surreale quanto realista compassione e derisione, oralit脿 e poesia, celeste e infernale. Giocando tanto con Gogol che con Bulgakov, il delirante viaggio di un vagabondo muove dalla citt脿 alla periferia alla ricerca di una chimerica ragazza, tra metafore del mal di vivere e viscerali rivelazioni linguistiche, inserendo il racconto dentro un'incompiuta parodia del mondo e moltiplicandone le forme in modo comico e catastrofico. Erofeev riesce a creare con la sua visione un'intimit脿 universale, mentre un riso cannibalesco travolge sia la letteratura che la rivoluzione, dando un senso doloroso e grottesco alla nostra transitoria interpretazione del vivere.
鈥淧erch茅 la vita umana, non 猫 forse un breve ciclone dell'anima? E' anche un'eclissi dell'anima. E' come se tutti noi fossimo ubriachi, solo ognuno per conto suo, uno ha bevuto di pi霉, l'altro di meno鈥�.
La leggenda di Venedikt Erofeev ci consegna un antieroe negativo, un nomade metafisico, un profeta illegittimo nell'oscura cultura sovietica, come ben testimoniano le voci raccolte dall'ottimo e vitale Paolo Nori. Mosca-Petusk矛 猫 il suo trattato sul fatalismo necessario, dallo stile enfatico e burlesco; si tratta di un libro basato sulla convinzione che 鈥渢utti gli uomini di valore in Russia bevono come spugne鈥�, perch茅 in un mondo di menzogne solo l'alcol non mente. Si diffuse clandestinamente come samizdat, diventando un classico in breve tempo. Poema dello zapoj, l'ubriacatura di lungo corso, ammirato da Eduard Limonov, 猫 un testo dionisiaco e fantastico, che mescola in una ricetta surreale quanto realista compassione e derisione, oralit脿 e poesia, celeste e infernale. Giocando tanto con Gogol che con Bulgakov, il delirante viaggio di un vagabondo muove dalla citt脿 alla periferia alla ricerca di una chimerica ragazza, tra metafore del mal di vivere e viscerali rivelazioni linguistiche, inserendo il racconto dentro un'incompiuta parodia del mondo e moltiplicandone le forme in modo comico e catastrofico. Erofeev riesce a creare con la sua visione un'intimit脿 universale, mentre un riso cannibalesco travolge sia la letteratura che la rivoluzione, dando un senso doloroso e grottesco alla nostra transitoria interpretazione del vivere.
鈥淧erch茅 la vita umana, non 猫 forse un breve ciclone dell'anima? E' anche un'eclissi dell'anima. E' come se tutti noi fossimo ubriachi, solo ognuno per conto suo, uno ha bevuto di pi霉, l'altro di meno鈥�.

If dialectical materialism were turned on its head, something like angels would probably fall out. If you got drunk enough to cross Moscow a thousand times without ever seeing the Kremlin, something like freedom would happen, despite the State. If poky old Petushki became Eden, just because you loved and it was there, materialism would be turned right side up again, but with the angels left in. That鈥檚 Erofeev, whose incredibly Russian cocktail of sadness & joy, shame, spirituality, and sensual skewering of Lenin is Marxism鈥檚 inadvertent glory & a gorgeous f-you to Kremlins everywhere.

Oh, crap, another Russian writer without a beard! It always makes me so sad. Like seeing a squirrel without a tail. It seems unnatural, unfair. Freakish.
I'm impressed by his attempt at a Clark Gable 'stache though.
So in the little bit of research I did on this book I found that it's considered a "postmodernist prose poem" which I didn't necessarily pick up on while I was reading it. (The "poem" bit, I mean - the "postmodernist" part was quite evident.) Now I'm not sure what to think. I feel like I should re-read it in light of the whole "prose poem" thing, but no - Proust is waiting for me patiently at the bedside table and there's that whole book I'm reading for my real-life Pretentious Bookclub, so there's just no time for a re-read of this. So let it be known that it's a "prose poem". Maybe that will help you going into your own reading of it and then you won't have your world turned upside down like mine was.
Even though Erofeev didn't sport the Russian-classic (ie, beard), he did write about an alcoholic, so he gets to keep his Russian literary citizenship for that at least. Supposedly pseudo-autobiographical it follows the story of Venichka who has just lost his job as a cable fitter for charting how much alcohol he and his coworkers drank. The majority of the story takes place on a train from Moscow to Petushki and involves the various discussions that take place between Venichka and his other travelers. Alcohol is consumed. Duh.
Petushki is where Venya's lover and child await him, it is his "salvation and joy"; unlike Moscow which obviously is meant to be all about restriction, destruction, and everything else bad about Russia in 1968 when Erofeev wrote the story. One thing I love about the Russians is their veiled references to their oppressive society - being a postmodern work it probably goes without saying that I missed more than I should have because I suck at reading postmodern works sometimes. I should be in therapy for this problem. But I am trying, so shove it.
I also want to give a shout-out to the fantastic cover art that was chosen, Self Portrait with Demons (James Ensor). Perfect fit.

Cartea lui Venedikt Erofeev, Moscova 鈥� Petu葯ki, mi-a amintit 卯ntr-o oarecare m膬sur膬 de Naked Lunch, a lui William S. Burroughs, at卯t prin abordarea original膬: un narator prive葯te lumea prin aburii alcoolului, cel膬lalt prin cei ai drogurilor, c卯t 葯i prin situarea 卯n vecin膬tatea genialit膬葲ii scriiturii, f膬r膬 s膬 ajung膬 p卯n膬 la urm膬 la ea. David Lodge spunea despre Burroughs c膬 poate fi incitant, adesea distractiv 卯n incoeren葲a lui ce mimeaz膬 suprarealismul, dar c膬 ceea ce scrie el nu e totu艧i literatur膬. Cam acela葯i lucru l-am sim葲it citindu-l pe Erofeev: 卯n ciuda intertextualit膬葲ii abile, a ironiei fine 葯i a ambiguit膬葲ii, in ciuda faptului c膬 m-a amuzat teribil, nu-s foarte sigur膬 c膬 ceea ce am citit e mai mult dec卯t teribilism literar. Poate nu degeaba 葯i-a intitulat autorul scrierea 鈥瀙oem鈥�, c膬 mi-au venit 卯n minte, nu o dat膬, c卯ntece de pahar mai mult sau mai pu葲in licen葲ioase (dintre care, desigur, nu putea lipsi faimosul Eu beu, al lui Pavel Stratan 馃槉).
Povestea micu葲ei opere este chiar mai interesant膬 dec卯t con葲inutul ei (con葲inut care parodiaz膬 celebrele c膬l膬torii ini葲iatice), c膬ci, fiind scris膬 卯n perioada comunist膬 (care, dup膬 cum bine 葯tim, nu prea 卯ncuraja genul 膬sta de scriitur膬 carnavalesc膬) a circulat mult膬 vreme 卯n manuscris, via samizdat, fiind publicat膬 卯n Rusia abia pe la sf卯r葯itul anilor 鈥�80, vagabond卯nd deci la periferia spa葲iului literar a葯a cum autorul ei vagabonda la periferia spa葲iului socialist.
Cred totu艧i c膬 Eofeev 卯i e superior lui Burroughs, at卯t din punct de vedere compozi葲ional c卯t 葯i stilistic. Pe de o parte, lumea pe care o creeaz膬 este delicios ambigu膬, reg膬sindu-se 卯n ea accente parodice ale celebrului suflet rus, care 卯n sf卯r葯it 葯i-a g膬sit pacea 卯ntr-o or卯nduire care 卯l protejeaz膬 de orice dubii 葯i suferin葲e:
Pe de alt膬 parte, Erofeev este maestru 卯n amestecul de registre stilistice cu efecte umoristice de cea mai bun膬 calitate:
Intertextualitatea este si ea generatoare de umor, fie implicit, verific卯nd mucalit 卯ntinderea cuno葯tin葲elor literare ale cititorului (鈥濩eva nu-i bine 卯n lume. E ceva putred 卯n tot regatul 葯i to葲i au creierii pe-o parte.鈥�) fie explicit, 卯n citate aproximative 葯i interpret膬ri haotice:
Sau f膬c卯nd asocia葲ii ilariant de plastice:
Sau, 卯n sf卯r葯it, m卯nuind cu dexteritate imaginile oximoronice doar ca s膬 arunce mucalit 卯n cititor cu tot felul de panseuri absurde 葯i f膬r膬 nici un sens:
M膬 opresc aici, nu 卯nainte de a m膬 卯ntreba, ca mul葲i al葲ii, c卯te subtilit膬葲i ale scriiturii sale s-or fi pierdut 卯n traducere.
P:S. 3,5 stele rotunjite la patru fie 葯i numai pentru doza s膬n膬toas膬 de r卯s.
Povestea micu葲ei opere este chiar mai interesant膬 dec卯t con葲inutul ei (con葲inut care parodiaz膬 celebrele c膬l膬torii ini葲iatice), c膬ci, fiind scris膬 卯n perioada comunist膬 (care, dup膬 cum bine 葯tim, nu prea 卯ncuraja genul 膬sta de scriitur膬 carnavalesc膬) a circulat mult膬 vreme 卯n manuscris, via samizdat, fiind publicat膬 卯n Rusia abia pe la sf卯r葯itul anilor 鈥�80, vagabond卯nd deci la periferia spa葲iului literar a葯a cum autorul ei vagabonda la periferia spa葲iului socialist.
Cred totu艧i c膬 Eofeev 卯i e superior lui Burroughs, at卯t din punct de vedere compozi葲ional c卯t 葯i stilistic. Pe de o parte, lumea pe care o creeaz膬 este delicios ambigu膬, reg膬sindu-se 卯n ea accente parodice ale celebrului suflet rus, care 卯n sf卯r葯it 葯i-a g膬sit pacea 卯ntr-o or卯nduire care 卯l protejeaz膬 de orice dubii 葯i suferin葲e:
脦mi place c膬 poporul 葲膬rii mele are ochii at卯t de goi 葯i de bulbuca葲i. Asta 卯mi imprim膬 un sentiment de legitim膬 m卯ndrie. Ne putem imagina ce fel de ochi s卯nt acolo. Unde totul se vinde 葯i totul se cump膬r膬: ...ochi bine ascun葯i, piti葲i, rapaci 葯i 卯nsp膬im卯nta葲i... Infla葲ie, 葯omaj, pauperism... Se uit膬 pe sub spr卯ncene, cu 卯ngrijorare perpetu膬 葯i suferin葲膬 鈥� iat膬 ce fel de ochi s卯nt 卯n lumea banilor pe葯in...
脦n schimb, ce ochi are poporul meu! S卯nt mereu holba葲i, dar n-au 卯n ei nici un fel de tensiune.

Pe de alt膬 parte, Erofeev este maestru 卯n amestecul de registre stilistice cu efecte umoristice de cea mai bun膬 calitate:

Jedan mi je umni knji啪ar nedavno, tokom nekog od beskrajnih prelistavanja ove knjige, usputno dobacio kako je to najbolja studija o alkoholizmu ikad napisana. I to nije zvu膷alo kao re膷enica uve啪bavana da bi se knjiga prodala, nikako.
Valjda sam je se zato prve setio, nakon 膷itanja, kad je postalo jasno koliko je bezobrazno istinita. No, problem je 拧to je ovaj tekst i toliko vi拧e od tog, planinski jakog komplimenta.
Pritom, gotovo da uop拧te ne mislim na njenu luda膷ku subverzivnost koja razgoli膰uje 膷itav jedan masivni sistem u kom je nastajala, oru膰i po njegovim osnovama, tokom ovog kratkotrajnog i urnebesnog putovanja na relaciji od Moskve ka Petu拧kama, ili mo啪da u obrnutom pravcu, a zbog kojeg je decenijama 啪ivela na pre拧tampavanju i samizdat primercima. Ne.
Pa 膷ak ne mislim ni na vi拧eslojnost i 膷itav repertoar dvosmislenih pojmova, detalja, re膷enica, koje referi拧u na mnoga druga 拧tiva, koji di拧u filozofiju, anti膷ku istoriju, ranohri拧膰anske radove, koji referi拧u na enciklpedijsko znanje autora, koje potopljeno u beskona膷ne okeane alkohola eksplodira u svom kvalitetu, ma kakvi.
Zapravo najvi拧e mislim na 啪ivot koji tutnja i pulsira tokom kloparanja voza, na 啪ivot koji je pun duha, cini膷ne i apsurdne vedrine u sveop拧tem mraku, 啪ivot kojeg ni zariveno 拧ilo u zavr拧noj sceni nije ugasilo, oda slobodnom 啪ivotu, pa da.

Tutti dicono: il Cremlino, il Cremlino. Con tutto quello che ne ho sentito dire, non l鈥檋o mai visto. Quante volte ormai (mille volte) , con addosso il ciclone o l鈥檃nticiclone ho attraversato Mosca da nord a sud, da occidente a oriente, dall鈥檌nizio alla fine, da una parte all鈥檃ltra e a casaccio, non l鈥檋o mai visto neanche una volta.
Il viaggio tragicomico di un uomo perennemente ubriaco, circondato da persone quasi tutte perennemente ubriache, ha parecchi momenti divertenti, come quando il controllore (ubriaco) si fa pagare in grammi di vodka.
鈥淚 controllori! I controllori!鈥�, ha rimbombato in tutti i vagoni, rimbombava ed esplodeva: 鈥淚 controllori!鈥�
A dire la verit脿, sulla linea di Petusk矛 nessuno ha paura dei controllori, perch茅 tutti sono senza biglietti. Se qualche rinnegato compra il biglietto, allora 猫 lui, naturalmente, a essere a disagio quando passano i controllori: quando gli si avvicinano per il biglietto, non guarda nessuno, n茅 il controllore n茅 il pubblico, come se volesse sprofondare per la vergogna. E il controllore osserva il suo biglietto con una specie di schifo e a lui, in particolare, lo guarda come per annientarlo, come se guardasse un rettile. E i passeggeri, i passeggeri guardano il portoghese con occhi grandi, belli, come per dire: Abbassa gli occhi, contaballe! Ti rode la coscienza, eh?, razza di un bastardo! E il controllore lo guardano in faccia ancora pi霉 apertamente: Eccoci qua, puoi forse biasimarci? Vieni da noi, Semenyc, non ti faremo torto 鈥�
Prima che Semenyc diventasse controllore capo, le cose erano tutte diverse: a quei tempi i senza biglietti venivan cacciati nelle riserve, come gli indiani, e li picchiavano in testa con dei volumi dell鈥檈nciclopedia Efron e Brokgauz e poi li multavano e li buttavano gi霉 dal treno.
Il controllore capo Semenyc aveva cambiato tutto. Aveva soppresso tutte le multe e le prenotazioni. Aveva fatto in un modo pi霉 semplice. Prendeva da quelli che non avevano il biglietto un tot di grammi al chilometro.
Cos矛, l鈥檌nnovazione di Semenyc aveva rafforzato il legame tra i controllori e le masse, ne aveva abbassato il prezzo, l鈥檃veva semplificato e umanizzato. E in quel fremito generale che si diffondeva al grido di 鈥淐ontrollori!鈥� non c鈥檈ra nessuna paura. In quel fremito c鈥檈ra solo del presentimento.
Per貌 tutto questo delirio dopo un po鈥� stanca. Comunque il libro, gi脿 negli anni Settanta e Ottanta, quando ancora girava in clandestinit脿, era uno dei pi霉 letti e amati dai russi. Evidentemente ha colto lo spirito del popolo russo, il suo male di vivere e il suo personale modo di ribellarsi all鈥檃utorit脿.
鈥淟鈥檌mmortale poema di Venedikt Erofeev 鈥� scrive il critico Evgenij Popov 鈥� ormai lo conoscono tutti quelli che hanno un rapporto, per quanto minimo, con la letteratura o, nella peggiore delle ipotesi, con la vodka鈥�.

Dramatur拧ki je korektno biti pripit za vreme knjige. Slede膰i put 膷itam je u vozu, na relaciji Lazarevac-Karaburma - sa 膷ekanjem na ukr拧tanje u Kolubarskom Leskovcu i Resniku, kako bih postigao, naravski - dobro opskrbljen unu膷i膰ima.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to ride a Moscow train in Soviet Russia while completely drunk out of your mind then this is the book for you. You're in for a treat full of drunken musings, hallucinations and epiphanies about life, politics and work, complete with Keynesian diagrams to boot! This is a uniquely Russian book replete with that famous self-deprecating black Soviet humor that is unique to the period. The ramblings get more and more incoherent as our protagonist gets closer and closer to his destination -- or does he? I guess that is the question.

One of the most *beautiful* books I've ever read, hands down. Through a haze of alcohol, Soviet repression, and the hypnotic rhythm of a subway journey, Erofeev turns his drunken slapstick into brilliant satire, his own maudlin self pity into the lyrically transcendent.

Ova knjiga je za mene otkri膰e. Veoma zanimljiva i dobra za brzo 膷itanje, kada ho膰ete da odmorite od nekih napornih romana ili napornog 啪ivota. Mali Princ na alkoholu (SSSR verzija).

Un viaggio nell'ebrezza che 猫 anche un viaggio nella tragica condizione umana.
Bellissimo!

Imagine travelling on a train and being trapped inside a compartment with a completely drunk and funky-smelling dude, who clearly didn鈥檛 spend last night in his bed and now is telling you all about his day and about his life.
It鈥檚 quite uncomfortable, annoying and frustrating, although it can be rather fascinating, so even if you would actually choose to be somewhere else, had you the chance, something inside of you still wants to listen carefully to him. After all, you might never get a second chance at being inside the mind of a crazed, intoxicated philosopher-type. However, after a while you might need to leave the train 鈥� and this is the point when things get weird, because you understand that you can鈥檛 leave, you actually are stuck with this person. What is worse, after a bit you notice that there never was any drunken companion, and guess what, you are the drunken companion, and you are actually trapped inside his mind because you are him. There is no other way of seeing reality than through his hallucinating eyes, there never was. And the only way out is forward, following him wherever he may lead.
Well, this is how this book made me feel. Sometimes funny, sometimes utterly repulsive, sometimes strangely poetic, the whole book (or actually two of them, since my edition contained also Notes of a psychopath, Erofeev鈥檚 first novel), were no easy read for me, but something absolutely different and unforgettable.

Perch茅 la vita dell'uomo non 猫 forse un attimo di ebbrezza dell'anima?
Un treno e le sue tante stazioni come la vita. Con i compagni di viaggio proviamo a condividere amore e compassione. La destinazione 猫 Petuski, dove cantano gli usignoli e l鈥檃ria profuma di gelsomino e dove ci attende la nostra Regina. E oltre Petuski, l脿 c鈥櫭� il nostro amore di bambino, quello che ha gi脿 imparato la lettera ju. Nella preziosa valigetta abbiamo i regali per loro. E la vodka e il vino che ci sono necessari, perch茅 la vita picchia duro e tentiamo di ingannarla. Solo che le cose poi si confondono, non 猫 detto che la direzione sia quella giusta, forse stiamo tornado verso Mosca, verso quei burocrati disumani al servizio di un regime immenso, feroce, pauroso. Che proviamo a gabbare, con un po鈥� di ironia鈥 vodka. Ma poi ci pu貌 capitare di dichiarare guerra alla Norvegia, incontrare Satana, e la Sfinge, e Mitridate re del Ponto, e di ritrovarci infine sotto le mura del Cremlino al cospetto dei 4 cavalieri dell鈥檃pocalisse.
