Description
From a rising star of Russian literature, a collection of short stories that straddles the line between delight and horror.
Twisting the art of the fairytale into something entirely her own, Alla Gorbunova's Ings and Oughts is an endlessly inventive collection thematically-linked short prose. Divided by subject-romance, philosophy, fate-the stories in this collection turn a magical lens to bitter realities.
