I fiori sbocciano, le giornate si fanno sempre più lunghe e tiepide, nell'aria c'è una frizzante eccitazione che già promette l'estate: la primavera è il momento ideale per rilassarsi e immergersi in questi racconti ispirati alla stagione più amata. Ma non mettetevi troppo comodi, il delitto è sempre in agguato...

Seismic events in a life might crush them; the loss of a loved one for instance. Coping is difficult, support hard to find and isolation abounds.

There is simply no A-Z like the alphabet of fiction writers who have appeared in the pages of The New Yorker in the last hundred years.

Some stories defined a moment or a now-lost world (Isaac Bashevis Singer’s “The Cafeteria”); others showed us a whole new way fiction could sound and feel (“The Red Girl,” by Jamaica Kincaid).

Russian literature exudes an atmosphere of mysticism, which is said to be a natural result of the simplicity of her people. Often, instead of being "about" anything, Russian stories sometimes seem to be the "thing" in itself.
