Bøker av Ludmila Ulitskaya

A new collection of stories by the acclaimed Ludmila Ulitskaya, masterfully translated into English

An intense and dramatic reimagining of a plague outbreak in 1930s Moscow invites parallels with our pandemic-stricken times.

The central character in Ludmila Ulitskaya's celebrated novel The Kukotsky Enigma is a gynaecologist contending with Stalin's prohibition of abortions in 1936. But, in the tradition of Russia's great family novels, the story encompasses the history of two families and unfolds in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the ruins of ancient civilizations on the Black Sea.

A wry, moving and dark story about Russians adrift in New York by award-winning Ludmila Ultiskaya, hailed by Gary Shteyngart as 'one of the most important living writers'.
