Bøger af Katia Kapovich

Set in the West, Russia, Moldova and the Middle East, Katia Kapovich's Cossacks and Bandits explores the personal histories of survivors of sociopolitical and economic distress, who are the true modern hero and heroine. In the final reckoning, survival and dignity depend on creative thinking and a leap of the imagination.

Shortlisted for The Jerwood Aldeburgh First Collection Prize. Katia Kapovich creates a gallery of narrative portraits that are both unheroic and unforgettable - mute children, laundering women, Moldovan homosexuals, beggars, pickpockets, Russian draftees, Soviet boy scouts, political convicts, all at home in Dostoyevskian worlds.
