An Encounter
Tags: Daniil Harms
On one occasion a man went off to work and on the way he met another man who, having bought a loaf of Polish bread, was wending his way home. And that’s just about all there is to it.
Daniil Kharms
dias felizes quando acordamos ao som de Daniil Kharms. Foi de Maputo que me chegaram as primeiras notas, em 2000, provavelmente das Crónicas da Razão Louca. Depois disso, pouco mais.
Em relação ao nome ainda guardo um texto de Vladimir Glotser, traduzido por Nicholas Sushkin.
Daniil Ivanovich Yuvachev (1905 — 1942) invented a poetic name “Charms” for himself when he was still being studying in high school. He varied this name very inventively, even within a single original: Kharms, Khorms, Charms, Haarms, Shardan, Harms-Dandan, etc. The thing was that Charms believed that a fixed name brings bad luck. He was taking a new last name each time as if trying to avoid it. “Yesterday my father told me, that while I was Charms, I would be followed by needs. Daniil Charms. December 23, 1936” (a diary record)
