About the author

Andrey Platonovich Platonov (1899-1951) was one of the finest Russian writers of the 20th century, though much of his work was suppressed during his lifetime due to his critical view of Stalin (which he maintained alongside his faith in communism). He began publishing poems and articles in 1918 while studying engineering, and much of his work concerns the utopian promise of technology. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, he wrote his most politically controversial works--including The Foundation Pit, Soul, and Happy Moscow--though they were first published in the Soviet Union over three decades later.

Elizabeth Chandler and Robert Chandler are co-translators of many works from the Russian, best known for bringing Vasily Grossman's work--including The People Immortal, Stalingrad, and Life and Fate--to English-language audiences. Their previous translations of Platonov--The Foundation Pit, Soul, and Happy Moscow (all NYRB Classics)--have won prizes in the U.S. and U.K. They live in London.
