Drypoint.
The crazy quilt of elements that make up Daniil Kharms's absurdist 1939 novella "The Old Woman" includes many vivid details: a mysterious old woman, her decomposing corpse, some awful-sounding sausages, a flirtatious young woman, a set of grotesque dentures. Then there's the suitcase. In Kharms's telling of his often nightmarish, nonlinear story, the writer at its center wants to get rid of the dead old woman by packing her into a suitcase and dumping it into a bog.
