Memoirs 1917-1922
One would be hard pressed to decide whether the book is more notable for what it says or for how it says it... Viktor Shklovsky's A Sentimental Journey is highly recommended. -- Library Journal
Viktor Shklovsky (1893-1984) was a leading figure in the Russian Formalist movement of the 1920s and had a profound effect on twentieth-century Russian literature. Several of his books have been translated into English, including "Zoo, or Letters Not about Love, Third Factory, Theory of Prose, A Sentimental Journey, Energy of Delusion", and "Literature and Cinematography", and "Bowstring".
