Though Krzhizhanovsky wrote for some twenty years, Soviet censorship and World War II conspired against him, and none of his fiction was published in his lifetime (he died in 1950). \u201cA fantastical plot is my method,\u201d he once wrote. \u201cFirst you borrow from reality, you ask reality for permission to use your imagination, to deviate from actual fact; later you repay your debt to your creditor with nature, with a profoundly realistic investigation of the facts and an exact logic of conclusions.\u201d In <\/em>M\u00fcnchausen<em>, Krzhizhanovsky borrows from the life\u2014both real and legendary\u2014of Baron M\u00fcnchausen to spin his own absurd tale involving the baron\u2019s post\u2013World War I perambulations in Berlin, London, and Moscow on a diplomatic mission. Bizarre and fantastic, M\u00fcnchausen (or is it Krzhizhanovky?) defends imagination above all else.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The <\/em>Daily<em> is featuring a trio of adaptations of short excerpts from the novel.
