Russian author Aleksey Tolstoy, 1883-1945
What some contemporary writers will do to avoid people's touch! Tell it like it is, Danill Kharms!
ALEKSEY TOLSTOY
Ol'ga Forsh went up to Aleksey Tolstoy and did something. Aleksey Tolstoy also did something.
At this point Konstantin Fedin and Valetin Stenich leapt outside and got down to looking for a suitable stone. They didn't find a stone but they found a spade. Konstantin Fedin cracked Ol'ga Forsh one across the chops with the spade.
Then Aleksey Tolstoy stripped off and, going out on to the Fontanka, began to neigh like a horse. Everyone said: - There goes a major contemporary writer, neighing - And nobody touched Aleksey Tolstoy.
Daniil Kharms, 1905-1942
