Selected prose & poetry / Mikhail Kuzmin ; edited & translated [from the Russian] by Michael Green

Mikhail Kuzmin

Mihail Kuzmin was an avowed homosexual, and his progressive debut novel Wings, the first gay-themed book to be published in Russia, created a scandal when released in 1906. But his open lifestyle made writing increasingly difficult for him under Stalin’s regime, and his works were not reprinted for over forty years.
