Description

Stories that combine the golden canon of soft science fiction and social realism reflect today’s reality accurately and whole-heartedly. There won’t be dizzying chases, spectacular battles, or unusual spaces—instead, Olga Kharitonova reconstructs landscapes and interiors familiar to anyone living in the post-Soviet space. But she also subtly weaves small speculative “what-ifs” into the plot as pretexts for discussing embodiment, self-identification, living through grief, and humanism—not global humanism for the sake of saving a race, but everyday humanism that makes people—people.
