Not completely—I bought two collections of Kharms work. It's fantastic.

Thanks for the link! The description reminded me of Felix Feneon, who's also great.

"it draws an inevitable and unflattering comparison to Daniil Kharms"

Isn't it pretty much the only career he's had?

"There have got to be people other than me out there who consider her a legitimate progressive."

I think part of that is in the context of arguing with folk who apparently insist on flawless candidates (and possibly are a bit sexist) and recognizing she—like everyone else—isn't perfect. But it gets tiring.
