Goat Song

Vaginov is the singer of the untimely and inappropriate. In the literary life of Petersburg in the 1920s, he always stands apart. In his main prose book, he observes how the shards of the Silver Age sink into the banality of the new time.

«Goat Song» in a literal translation from ancient Greek is a tragedy, but Vaginov writes this tragedy with a detached and sad smile.
