About this product
Product Information
"A New York Review Books Original" " Tolstaya carves indelible people who roam the imagination long after the book is put down." - "Time" Tatyana Tolstaya' s short stories-- with their unpredictable fairy-tale plots, appealingly eccentric characters, and stylistic abundance and flair-- established her in the 1980s as one of modern Russia' s finest writers. Since then her work has been translated throughout the world. Edna O' Brien has called Tolstaya " an enchantress." Anita Desai has spoken of her work' s " richness and ardent life." Mixing heartbreak and humor, dizzying flights of fantasy and plunging descents to earth, Tolstaya is the natural successor in a great Russian literary lineage that includes Gogol, Yuri Olesha, Bulgakov, and Nabokov. "White Walls" is the most comprehensive collection of Tolstaya' s short fiction to be published in English so far. It presents the contents of her two previous collections, "On the Golden Porch" and "Sleepwalker in a Fog," along with several previously uncollected stories. Tolstaya writes of lonely children and lost love, of philosophers of the absurd and poets working as janitors, of angels and halfwits. She shows how the extraordinary will suddenly erupt in the midst of ordinary life, as she explores the human condition with a matchless combination of unbound imagination and unapologetic sympathy.

Praise for Tolstaya: Tolstaya is "considered by many critics and writers to be the foremost writer of her generation, a miniaturist whose stories combine the linguistic stardust of Vladimir Nabokov and the emotional wisdom of Anton Chekhov."--The Washington Post, " Tolstaya demonstrates an impressive range in these 23 stories...[that encompass] political satire, flights of surrealism and realistic urban and domestic dramas, nearly all set in the Soviet era...Children, old folks and the struggling in-betweens- Tolstaya sees into all their hearts. Remarkable" - "Kirkus" " Tolstaya offsets layers of exquisitely constructed language with the colloquial and the idiomatic and in a similar way layers the commonplace with the supernatural. The creation of a brilliant jumble of motley metaphors is her gift - not plot, trajectory, or the arc of a story, but the plunge into the middle of dazzling verbiage, her bright universe." - "The Boston Phoenix" Praise for Tolstaya: Tolstaya is " considered by many critics and writers to be the foremost writer of her generation, a miniaturist whose stories combine the linguistic stardust of Vladimir Nabokov and the emotional wisdom of Anton Chekhov." - "The Washington Post", "Tolstaya's voice is utterly her own, incorporating comic exaggeration, sly satire, bursts of lyricism and whimsy to intoxicating effect." -- National Post (Canada) "Tolstaya demonstrates an impressive range in these 23 stories...[that encompass] political satire, flights of surrealism and realistic urban and domestic dramas, nearly all set in the Soviet era...Children, old folks and the struggling in-betweensTolstaya sees into all their hearts.
