6 Down, 46 To Go "Rasskazy: New Fiction from a New Russia" (52 Books, 52 Weeks)
Rasskazy: New Fiction from a New Russia collects 22 short stories from young, talented Russian authors. These are the first Russian authors to live in the post-Soviet era, and this collection is as diverse as it is refreshing. Most importantly, Rasskazy introduces English readers to writers like Arkady Babchenko and Vadim Kalinin.
Rasskazy, edited by Jeff Parker and Mikhail Iossel, stands proud next to the Aleksandar Hemon-curated Best European Fiction 2010 as vital entry points into current European writing.
My next book is The Art of Tim Burton, by Tim Burton.
