		Andrei Platonov (Russian: Андрей Плато́нов) (September 1, 1899-January 5, 1951) was the pen name of Andrei Platonovich Klimentov, a Russian writer of the Soviet period whose works anticipate existentialism.
		Platonov was one of the early writers who emerged after the Russian revolution.
		In the Stalinist Great Purge of the 1930s, Platonov's son was arrested at the age of fifteen, and exiled to a labor camp where he contracted tuberculosis.

		In 1918, Platonov began to study in the electrotechnical division of the Voronezh Railroad Polytechnic.
		In addition, Platonov admitted the error of his ways at a writer's meeting held on 1 February 1932, confessing that his works were "of no interest or use to the Revolution." Most at the meeting were not confident that Platonov could transform himself, pointing to the absence to date of any politically correct works.
		In early 1941, Platonov's son, Platon, was released from the prison camps, thanks to the intercession of novelist and Supreme Soviet deputy Mikhail Sholokhov.

		Reading Platonov, we are invited to participate in the construction of grammatically coherent meaning in the face of contradictory experience.
		Platonov begins with an echo of the opening line of Dante’s Commedia (“Midway this way of life we’re bound upon”), before embarking on a parody of official jargon.
		Discussion of Platonov’s linguistic style and ideological outlook is rendered more complicated by the slippery nature of his prose, in which narrative authority is constantly undermined.
