Пощёчина общественному вкусу

by David Burlyuk, Давид Бурлюк, Aleksei Kruchenykh

Это первый русский футуристический манифест и самый удачный, на него была бурная реакция в обществе и в прессе. Больше такого успеха у манифестов не было. Через несколько месяцев была выпущена листовка с похожим текстом и коллективной фотографией. Группа еще не именовала себя «футуристами». В обиходе группу называли «бурлюки», а Хлебников – «будетляне». Слово «футуристы» пока использовали только как ругательство в чужой адрес.

A small group of twenty-something Russian writers getting together to assert that old literature is Bad and that their new literature, filled with slang, is The Future. I love it.

I've been reading a lot of literary manifestos lately, and I'm starting to think it's just a part of everyone's development in early adulthood that you discover one idea and decide, quite dramatically, it's a shame No Others In History have ever been as forward-thinking as you. "From the heights of skyscrapers we gaze at their insignificance!" But of course one must be so passionate about something to set out to make a movement of it.

The tone at times reminded me of those twitter threads where someone who has read half an article on an incredibly complex is yelling at you about what you don't know. But in an endearing way, truly. Onto the future!!

Пламенное вступление-манифест и такое же послесловие. Но вот тем, что между ними, я не проникся. Возможно отсутствует нужный бэкграунд, кто знает.

Too much of a literary manifesto for when I was 14
