First edition in English. Inscribed by the author in Russian to an editor at Collins Harvill, 'I hope you like this book, 7 June 1990, S Kaledin'. Top edge spotted, else very near fine in dust jacket. 'A landmark in the trend of "tough prose" was the publication in 1987 of the short novel A Humble Cemetery (Smirennoe kladbische), with which Sergei Kaledin (born 1949) made his debut. Kaledin's subject matter alone - the lives of gravediggers at a Moscow cemetery - was unusual enough to create a stir, but his harsh and candid manner of displaying these lives in coarse and sometimes revolting detail augmented the novel's impact.' - Deming Brown, The Last Years of Soviet Russian Literature: Prose Fiction 1975-1991.
