Aetherial Worlds by Tatyana Tolstaya (English) Paperback Book

Description: Aetherial Worlds by Tatyana Tolstaya Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Longlisted for the National Book Award for Translated LiteratureLonglisted for the PEN Translation PrizeIn this dazzling collection of stories from one of Russias most important writers, ordinary realities—and our yearnings to transcend them—lead to miraculous otherworlds. A womans 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. Tolstayas 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.
