Item #2234
Moscow: Federatsiya, 1929. 269, [3] pp. 19x13,5 cm. 1 of 3000 copies. Original illustrated cardboards. The spine is rubbed to the edges. Otherwise good.
The last book, printed by the LEF collective. The collection is dominated by Osip Brik and Sergey Tretiakov. Mayakovsky left LEF in 1928 and so did Brik, but the collection was edited by Nikolay Chuzhak, who included his articles anyway. Both him and Tretiakov call for the continuing of the publications that have never happened.
However this book contains several important articles in the spirit of LEF, including the proposal by Tretiakov to replace the fiction with journalism (this new form of literature he has called ‘the literature of the fact’).
Prominent LEF theoretic Viktor Pertsov (1898-1980) has contributed to the collection with the articles on the roots of leftism, Viktor Shklovsky who was a member in LEF from the beginning contributed with several articles including the piece on the prose without a plot.
