About this ebook
Spanning fifty years, but with a particular emphasis on post-independence fiction, this collection features a diverse range of styles and voices, offering a window onto a vibrant literary scene that has been largely inaccessible to the English-language reader until now. With stories addressing subjects as diverse as blood feuds, betrayal, sex, drugs, and Sergio Leone, it promises to challenge any existing preconceptions the reader might hold, and make available a rich and varied literary tradition unjustly overshadowed by the other ex-Soviet republics, until now.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I was really excited to find this in Tbilisi, but the excitement and interest didn't last long. I didn't even finish it. None of the stories I read at the beginning encouraged me to plough on.
Disappointing, as the translation was good. In fact the most interesting bit of the book for me seemed to be the translators introduction.
