From the author of the Booker Prize-winning novel Possess, as well as Children's Books and Angels and Insects, this is the second volume of a complete collection of short prose, a kind of continuation of Wonders and Fantasies, two author's collections under one cover. In these stories - “for all their apparent simplicity, surprisingly multi-layered and even allegorical” (Vogue) - “mystery breathes, passion lives, ancient magic pulsates” (Marie Claire). In Ghosts and Artists, DBE explores the fragile bonds between generations, the bottomless pit of loss, and the lengths to which we are willing to go to cope with this loss...For the first time in Russian!
