Boris by the Sea

Matvei Yankelevich

Poetry. Matvei Yankelevich’s first full-length book, BORIS BY THE SEA, is a work of existential theater that destroys the distance between puppeteer and puppet, between ego and id, between what is real and what is absurd. Consisting of prose, poems, and plays, the book creates its own world and then confronts the loneliness of having to exist within one’s own creation. Like Daniil Kharms, Yankelevich has written a children’s book for only the bravest of adults.
