Andrei Sen-Senkov’s Anatomical Theater is a fascinating, bizarre look into the day to day observations of a gynecologist and well known Russian contemporary poet. It also has amazing cover art by Sveta Dorosheva.
I enjoy poetry of the mundane and the first two sections of this book certainly explore this theme. With a very even, methodical pace, Sen-Senkov calls out the absurd in observations of daily Russian life.
His titular chapter, Anatomical Theater, is something very much else! I best describe it as a medical text intended to be read dramatically. This is a tour of human anatomy by a masterful story teller, and if you enjoy the cover art, this section is for you!
