Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky are an award-winning team of literary translators who have translated over thirty works from the Russian.“A generous and compassionate vision. . . . Ulitskaya’s tales enchant, and, in our brutalized times, they offer comforting reading. Here we see people who suffer but who also find the strength to bear.”—Sigrid Nunez, <i>New York Review of Books</i><br /><br />A <i>New Yorker</i> Best of the Week Pick<br /><br />“[A] magnificent collection . . . [by] a writer of boundless tenderness.”—Geneviève Brisac, <i>Le Monde</i><br /><br />“It is a similar triumph over circumstance that Ludmila Ulitskaya’s reputation has survived Russia’s international shaming. These stories, transcending their deliberate parochialism, deserve a global readership.”—Muireann Maguire, <i>Times Literary Supplement</i><br /><br />A <i>World Literature Today</i> Notable Translation of 2023<br /><br />“[A] collection of economical, honest stories. They are all tinged with a sense of loss, but her spirited characters are determined to spit in the eye of bad faith.”—Eithne Farry, <i>Daily Mail</i><br /><br />“Magnificent. . . . <i>The Body of the Soul</i> enhances [Ulitskaya’s] reputation as one of the most important Russian writers of her generation. . . . Each story provokes questions about the human condition that take readers far beyond the subject matter. . . . In this brilliant collection, Ulitskaya manages to convey the inexpressible, dazzling readers with her insight.”—Elizabeth Fifer, <i>World Literature Today</i><br /><br />“This level of consistency and balance is a rare feat in collections where, usually, some stories take precedence over others. . . . These stories explore intriguing questions and offer unique perspectives.”—Hritik Verma, <i>Hindustan Times</i><br /><br />
