Wanderings on the Subject of Death

A collection of short prose by an unrivaled master, performed by Anna Kamenkova, Maxim Sukhanov, and Efim Shifrin. In this book, you’ll find astonishing stories that resemble scary—but kind—fairy tales. All of them, in one way or another, are connected with breaking what is familiar and established. The heroes of these texts can be poor, sick, or wronged by fate; they constantly find themselves in the most unbelievable life situations. The author’s ironic and positive view—like an all-seeing author’s eye—protects the main characters from total evil, and Ludmila Petrushevskaya’s distinctive language makes this book truly unique.
