Paperback. Condición: New. Otherworldly forces, dark phantasmagoria, the horrors of underground life, adolescence and rebellion, myth and fairy tale all swirl in Alla Gorbunova's audacious and spectacular novel. Children, students, beggars, young poets: Alla Gorbunova's heroes and heroines live their lives intensely, experiencing the longing, joy, anticipation, and heartbreak of youth in 1990s Saint Petersburg. But Gorbunova's interconnected episodes don't limit themselves to the realm of the everyday, as they move from harsh, material realities to delirious dark fantasies. Characters escape, decline, self-destruct, and transform. In vivid prose she conjures a fragile and haunted society, and renders it with frank and uncompromising tenderness. A stunning work of fiction, It's the End of the World, My Love is a compassionate, terrifying, and rewarding book from an undeniable literary voice.…

Paperback. Condición: New. From a rising star of "inventive and wildly evocative" Russian literature (Publishers Weekly), a collection of short stories that straddles the line between delight and horror. Twisting the art of the fairytale into something entirely her own, Alla Gorbunova's (Th)ings and (Th)oughts is a spellbinding collection of thematically-linked short prose. A teacher contemplates leaving her husband after learning that he doesn't have a soul; a functionary realizes that the only way to survive in contemporary Russia is to go insane; cars fall inexplicably from the sky; skeletons turn up in abandoned lots; a hapless everyman named Ivan Petrovich travels through a madcap Boschian afterlife, coming face-to-face with his own shortcomings, but failing, time after time, to finally get it right. Elsewhere, characters contend with puns, predators, and polyamory, often finding that the bleakness of their existence is an ordeal that only love can sweeten-though it also can't fix anything.  A witty satirist with a post-apocalyptic vision and a theologian's sense of seriousness and depth, Gorbunova is heir to the likes of Nikolai Gogol, Mikhail Bulgakov, and Daniil Kharms. In these fantastic, parable-like tales, she restores fiction's capacity to amuse, terrify, and enchant, turning a magical lens on bitter realities.…
