Description

Love stories, with a twist: the eagerly-awaited follow-as much as the truly amazing Euro writer’s Ny Times-Bestselling frightening fairy-tales By converts sly and nice, burlesque and tragic, these realist myths of ladies searching for love are the stories that Ludmilla Petrushevskaya—who hasbeen in comparison to Chekhov, Tolstoy, Beckett, Poe, Angela Carter, and also Stephen King—is most widely known for in Russia.Here are efforts at individual link, equally depraved and elegant, by people over the life time: one-night-stands in public flats, poignantly uncomfortable couplings, workplace trysts, schoolgirl crushes, elopements, sensitive courtships, and widespread cheating, shot through with lurid assault, Intimate impression, and unexpected tenderness. With the eye of Cindy Sherman, Petrushevskaya mixes macabre vision with major times of elegance and demonstrates just why she's Russia’s preeminent modern fiction author.
