Books By Boris Poplavskii - Author

Boris Poplavsky (1903-35) was born in Moscow to a wealthy family and fled Russia in the wake of the October Revolution, settling in Paris in 1921. Although he published only a handful of excerpts from larger works and a single book of poetry during his lifetime, he was hailed by his peers as one of the leading writers of his generation. His works in English translation include the novel Apollon Bezobrazov (2015).
