Dying for it by Moira Buffini Book PDF Summary
Hallway-dwelling Semyon is unemployed and disheartened with life. When his last hope for self-respect disappears, Semyon decides to take his own life. But word gets out and he finds himself inundated with sympathetic visitors - begging him to die on their behalf. Suddenly he is an important man, and on the night of his proposed suicide events spiral out of control. Moira Buffini has freely adapted Nikolai Erdman's celebrated satirical comedy 'The suicide', banned by Stalin before a single performance.-- Back cover.
