Tatyana Tolstoy’s book “Easy Worlds” includes new stories, short stories and essays written in recent years. The story that gave the title to the collection was awarded the Ivan Petrovich Belkin Prize (2013). “In new prose, Tatyana Tolstaya made a revolution: she switched from the third person to the first. Merging and diverging from the author, the narrator weaves lacy stories of her life, including about love, like Bunin.” (Alexander Genis)
