Encounters with Lise and other stories

This collection includes all of the stories published in Dobychin's lifetime, plus two stories that remained unpublished until the late 1980s. For Dobychin, early Soviet society was an absurdist wonderland. He was not anti-Soviet but trans-Soviet, practicing realism but looking at reality from jarring angles that expose the neophyte Soviet culture. A typical Dobychin hero participates in character-building sports, witnesses a funeral procession, watches a parade, attends the unveiling of a monument to a fallen Communist -- and finally reflects at the end of the day that he almost met a pretty young nurse.
