Editorial Reviews
Review
'The debut of a major literary voice shaped by the literary traditions of both America and Russia.' Yiyun Li, Guardian Prize-winning author of A Thousand Years of Good Prayers 'A wonderfully wise collection.' Sunday Times 'What makes the collection so good is partly the fineness of detail - emotional as well as social and sensory. Krasikov's powers of observation are acute, and always admirably aligned with the larger dramatic aim of the stories.' James Lasdun 'Sana Krasikov articulates like no other writer today the agonies and triumphs of eastern Europeans who have come to America looking for a new life - Krasikov's clear eye and economy of expression convey whole lifetimes of grief and ambition in a few words. America needs more writers like her.' Guardian

Review
“Sana Krasikov’s memorable characters emerge, fully formed and breathing on their own, from a deep, clear pool of seemingly effortless language, a knowing and incisive but empathetic sensibility. These stories are original, resplendent, and brilliant.”—Kate Christensen, author of The Great Man
“Sana Krasikov is the real thing. Her stories take shape inside the specific world of émigrés wrestling with language and loss and the stubborn details of survival, but they open into the largest of worlds and speak a universal language of heartbreak and desire.”—Jonathan Rosen, author of The Life of the Skies
“In her stunning short-story debut, Krasikov hones in on the subtleties of hope and despair that writhe in the hearts of her protagonists, largely Russian and Georgian immigrants who have settled on the East Coast … Krasikov’s prose is precise, and her stories are intelligent, complex, and passionate.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Sana Krasikov’s observations of the world her characters inhabit—full of big and small tragedies, laughable and lamentable incidents—are as sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, yet her understanding of her characters—most often of their follies and imperfections—are tender and sympathetic. She treats every story as a novel, and the readers of these stories will, in the end, live with the characters beyond the space of a short story. These stories are the debut of a major literary voice shaped by the literary traditions both American and Russian.”—Yiyun Li, author of A Thousand Years of Good Prayers
“Shrewdly humane and formally exquisite . . . Krasikov is as good as Junot Díaz and Jhumpa Lahiri were at this stage in their careers.”—Miami Herald
“Stunning.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Immediate, urgent, and gratifyingly real.”—Entertainment Weekly
