Chapter 1 Your Murderer; Chapter 2 Vassily Aksyonov;
Vassily Aksyonov, Translated by Daniel Gerould
"The translation by Gerould and Kosicka is deft and stageable. In
fact, the play would make an excellent cartoon with its talking
head and bloodless murders. Gerould's informative introduction
provides the necessary context for understanding the play and its
multitude of intertextual references. He combines biographical and
literary history with an insightful examination of the sources and
artistic merits of the play.
On the level of satirical commentary, the play remains surprisingly
fresh. In every instance, "Your Murderer is a parable that resists
simple allegorical readings."
-Sharon Marie Carnicke, "Slavic and East European Journal, Spring
2002
