"Marvelously vivid. . . . Tolstaya's vision reveals the world as a complex system of real and unreal realms . . . floodlit by flashes of transcendence." --The New York Times Book Review
"Beautiful. . . . The best of Tolstaya's stories trace [the] intersection of imagination and memory, where the two become something greater by not being merely one or the other." --The New YorkerLonglisted for the National Book Award for Translated Literature
Longlisted for the PEN Translation Prize
In this dazzling collection of stories from one of Russia’s most important writers, ordinary realities—and our yearnings to transcend them—lead to miraculous otherworlds. A woman’s deceased father appears in her dreams with clues about the afterlife. A man falls in love with a marble statue as his marriage falls apart. A child glimpses heaven through a stained-glass window.
Tolstaya’s tales—rendered with the emotional insight of Chekhov, the surreal satire of Gogol, and a unique blend of humor and poetry all her own—transmute the quotidian into aetherial wonders. As these stories explore politics, identity, love, and loss, they cut to the quick of the Russian psyche even as they lay bare human universals. Whether contemplating the intricacies of telegram delivery in Leningrad or the meditative melancholy of holiday aspic, Tolstaya limns the stark elements of existence and our vibrant inner lives in an extraordinary vision of life on earth.
