"“[A] magnificent collection . . . [by] a writer of boundless tenderness.”—Geneviève Brisac, Le Monde Praise for Ludmila Ulitskaya: “One of the most important living Russian writers.”―Gary Shteyngart “Ulitskaya resists reductive ideological thinking, in her fiction as in life. She specializes in swerves of fate, not lockstep plots. Ulitskaya’s signature narrative perspective—a self-consciously feminine eye and ear intently at work—takes in matchmaking possibilities, mundane coincidences, and unexpected human chemistry. . . . The women in Ulitskaya’s work come off as strong and resilient, even magical.”—Leonard Bershidsky, The Atlantic “[Ulitskaya] has become a voice of moral authority for differently minded Russians.”—Masha Gessen, New Yorker ""Ulitskaya's prose is like a confession, piercing, honest and absolute. Nuances of human nature, the unspeakable and the unspoken are the leitmotifs of her stories, told in an extraordinary kind of language, simple yet sophisticated and elegant. . . .[H]er characters feel familiar to any reader. Her stories, in the end, are universal.”—Vica Miller, Asymptote "
