Youth Restored Mikhail Zoshchenko 1984 Mikhail Mikhailovich Zoshchenko (10 August 1894 – 22 July 1958) was a Soviet and Russian writer and satirist. ... He was associated with the Serapion Brothers and attained particular popularity in the 1920s as a satirist, but, after his denunciation in the Zhdanov decree of 1946, Zoshchenko lived in dire poverty. He was awarded his pension only a few months before he died. Zoshchenko developed a simplified deadpan style of writing which simultaneously made him accessible to "the people" and mocked official demands for accessibility: "I write very compactly. My sentences are short. Accessible to the poor. Maybe that's the reason why I have so many readers." Volkov compares this style to the nakedness of the Russian holy fool or yurodivy. --Wikipedia First English Translation stated on dust jacket.
