A new collection of stories by the acclaimed Ludmila Ulitskaya,
masterfully translated into English “[A] magnificent
collection . . . [by] a writer of boundless
tenderness.”—Geneviève Brisac, Le Monde While we can
feel, know, and study the body, the soul refuses definition. Where
does it begin and end? What does the soul have to do with love?
Does it exist at all, and if so, does it outlast the body? Or are
the soul and body really one and the same? These are
questions posed by the characters who inhabit this book of stories
by the award-winning Russian writer Ludmila Ulitskaya. A woman
believes that the best way to control her life is to control her
death. A landscape photographer wonders if the beauty he has
witnessed can triumph over decay. A coroner dedicated to science is
confronted by a startling physical anomaly, a lonely widow
experiences an extraordinary transformation, a woman whose life is
devoted to language finds words slipping away from her. In
these eleven stories, artfully rendered into English by Richard
Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, Ulitskaya maps the edges of our
lives, tracing a delicate geography of the soul.
