From Russia comes this ironic, satirical, multi-layered, modern pop-art parable by Vassily Aksyonov. Your Murderer is a richly grotesque hodgepodge of different linguistic levels that defies all rules and mixes a powerful cocktail out of traditional slogans, invented obscentities, foreign words and phrases, terminology from sports and heavy drinking, and pure nonsense.
Daniel Gerould is Lucille Lortel Distinguished Professor of Theater and Comparative Literature at the City University of New York. He is the Editor of Slavic and East European Performance and of harwood academic publishers's Polish and East European Theater Archive series.

Review:
"The translation by Gerould and Kosicka is deft and stageable. In fact, the play would make an excellent cartoon with its talking head and bloodless murders. Gerould's informative introduction provides the necessary context for understanding the play and its multitude of intertextual references. He combines biographical and literary history with an insightful examination of the sources and artistic merits of the play.
On the level of satirical commentary, the play remains surprisingly fresh. In every instance, "Your Murderer is a parable that resists simple allegorical readings."
-Sharon Marie Carnicke, "Slavic and East European Journal, Spring 2002
