One of the author's six favorite books that warp reality, as shared at The Week magazine:There Once Lived a Woman Who Tried to Kill Her Neighbor's Baby by Ludmilla PetrushevskayaRead about the other entries on the list.
These are contemporary Russian fairy tales written by a short-story master. Petrushevskaya has a brisk, matter-of-fact style that you instinctively cede authority to, as if she were a tour guide to a place (where are we? who turned out the lights? did something just touch my hand?) that you were always meant to go.
