In Andrey Platonov’s The Foundation Pit, a team of workers has been given the job of digging the foundation of an immense edifice, a palatial home for the perfect future that, they are convinced, is at hand. But the harder the team works, the deeper they dig, the more things go wrong, and it becomes clear that what is being dug is not a foundation but an immense grave.

It is also a literary masterpiece.

Andrew Platonov's The Foundation Pit is a brutal novel. He shatters any illusions one might have about the virtues of Soviet communism. Platonov's deadpan style makes the hunger and death he depicts that much more empty.

Andrey Platonovich Platonov (1899–1951) was the son of a railway-worker and worked as a land reclamation expert. His most politically controversial works of the late 1920s and early 1930s, including The Foundation Pit and Chevengur, remained unpublished in Russia until the late 1980s. Other stories were published but subjected to vicious criticism. Stalin is reputed to have written scum in the margin of the story For Future Use, and to have said to Fadeyev (later to be secretary of the Writers’ Union), Give him a good belting – for future use!
