Description

WINNER OF ENGLISH PEN AWARD 2023SHORTLISTED FOR THE REPUBLIC OF CONSCIOUSNESS PRIZE 2024 ‘How did these stories get into your hands?

They flew, as if painted by Marc Chagall, through prison walls, borders, and languages.’ - Valzhyna Mort‘It’s a terse account of painful experience, prison, bewilderment; hugely atmospheric and extremely funny – full of dry wit and small biting observations.’ - Anna Vaught 100 stories written from prison in Belarus with 'echoes of early Chekhov, Zoshchenko and Samuel Beckett' (Michael Pursglove).

Despite its bleak context, this is a fundamentally optimistic book, engaging comically, yet honestly, with what it means to be human.

Translated from the Russian by Jim and Ella Dingley.

With an introduction by ‘risen star of the international poetry world’ Valzhyna Mort.
