A Week Like Any Other: Novellas and Stories - Paperback
by Natalya Baranskaya (Author), Pieta Monks (Translator)
One of Russia's finest short story writers makes her U.S. debut in this enthralling collection of fiction. Women's lives are the central preoccupation of Natalya Baranskaya: A scientist frantically juggles her professional life with her duties as wife and mother; a woman writer who regrets never marrying is finally glad of it; a delinquent girl is brought before the people's court for her "anti-social" behavior. With candor and satirical wit, Baranskaya captures perfectly everyday realities of family and society.
Natalya Baranskaya was born in 1908. She began writing at the age of fifty-six, after retiring as the deputy curator of the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. Her stories and novels have been translated into many languages.
