The collection of short stories “The Court of Miracles” is strange, mosaic, funny, and at times scary (and unlike anything else) - it’s not for nothing that it bears such a name. This is how the famous “thieves’ courtyard” was called in Paris in the Middle Ages. Only here we are not talking about Paris and its “outcasts,” but about the gangster court of Kira Sapgir, about her Moscow childhood and further echoes and sounds of its never-ending echo.
