4.0 out of 5 stars
Well worth a read
A collection of short stories and essays by one of Siberia's most famous modern writers. Well worth a read to look into the heart of Siberian life.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Okay...charming for what it is...
I expected more from this book. Some of the stories are too intangible for me, too much about emotion with too much personification. The more simple, narrative stories are incredible. I've read many stories from Lapland, northern Canada, Alaska and beyond, and the stories all have many things in common. The stories can be slow at times and illustrate the simple life...

This review is from: SIBERIA ON FIRE: STORIES AND ESSAYS (Paperback)
I expected more from this book. Some of the stories are too intangible for me, too much about emotion with too much personification. The more simple, narrative stories are incredible. I've read many stories from Lapland, northern Canada, Alaska and beyond, and the stories all have many things in common. The stories can be slow at times and illustrate the simple life of Siberia, but they are win/lose -- as I said, I liked about 60% of stories and the other 40% bored me to some extent. If you're interested in northern life, especially old/traditional life in the north or in Siberia, this is a good read, but don't expect too much...the stories are very simple, with very human but blunt themes.
