Moscow to the End of the Line by Venedikt Erofeev

Moscow to the End of the Line is the record of a monumental drinking bout. Since he is apparently still at large, his name is presumably not Erofeev. It is also possible, since most of the information we have is derived from Erofeev himself, that it may not be true. Erofeev may, as Vera Dunham says, be still winding cable today. The present book goes back to 1968, and we are told nothing about any later work. He has published nothing openly, but three works of fiction and “a parodic discourse on Russian existentialism” have appeared in samizdat form.

Dunham tells us in her introduction, born in 1933 “in or near Moscow,” he “seems to have studied” at Moscow University, and has worked in various parts of the Soviet Union as coal stoker, janitor, railroad worker, and cable fitter. I don’t, however, recall any other comment on the nature of Soviet society so rawly comic as this short novel by Venedikt Erofeev. Other approaches, allegorical or symbolic, have landed those who made them in labor camps or mental hospitals.

One answer is that of Solzhenitsyn in Cancer Ward and The First Circle: you face it head on, making fictions almost directly out of personal experience.
