By: Konstantin Vaginov     
Two novels by one of the Soviet Union's most inventive writers, written in the tradition of Gogol and Dostoyevsky but with a twentieth-century, modernist edge.

Konstantin Vaginov was an early and exemplary figure of Soviet modernist writing in all its agonized and glorious contradictions. Born into an educated middle-class family, Vaginov came of age with the Revolution. His novels of the late 1920s and early '30s are daringly experimental and tragically nostalgic, using mercilessly ironic prose to mourn the loss of prerevolutionary intellectual culture. Adrift in the brave new Soviet world, Vaginov's protagonists attempt to conjure the recent and distant past by stockpiling old books and songs, vulgar baubles and bad jokes, newspaper clippings, coins, and graffiti.

This volume contains two novels: Goat Song features thinly veiled portraits of Vaginov's contemporaries as they flounder and self-destruct in their new bracingly materialist circumstances. Echoing Gogol, Dostoyevsky, and Bely, Goat Song is both a classic Petersburg city text and its swan song: "Now there is no Petersburg . . . the author is a coffin-maker by trade, not a cradle expert."

Works and Days of Whistlin
follows the novelist Whistlin as he unscrupulously mines the lives of his friends and fellow citizens for literary material. His exploitation of human material is a wry commentary on the concurrent efforts to industrialize and collectivize the Soviet economy, at a horrific human cost.

SO durable & my Blue Heeler LOVES it!
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
My Blue Heeler tears up almost all of her toys if they’re not rubber. This ball is SO durable and she loves it so much!! We’ve had it for 5 months now. She chews on it every day for long periods of time and it’s showing pretty much no wear and tear. I keep wondering if I’ll ever have to pull out the second one from the box lol. It can be hard to squeak with one hand, but it’s easy enough with 2 hands or if you step on it with your foot. It’s hilarious that every time I squeak it she licks her lips. My girl never actually squeaks it while she’s chewing on it, which is actually a plus cuz it doesn’t get annoying when she’s chewing on it for long periods of time. I also love that the ball helps clean her teeth because of the spikes and the size is larger so it’s easy to take it from her while playing fetch. Overall a fun, durable dog toy!

Totally indestructible!
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
Finally! A toy my aggressive chewer cannot destroy!! Can’t even get the squeaker out! No other toy has ever held up and it’s got some nice bounce to it. Perfect size so it can’t get stuck under the sofa. Furthermore, it aids in cleaning his teeth and he loves them. This is a great money saver too! Update - 3 months later - still pup’s fav…still whole - still lotsa bounce - still has squeaker intact. As good as new! I’d buy these again but don’t need to 😃!
