Half a Revolution
Half a Revolution: Contemporary Fiction by Russian Women | Masha Gessen
1 post | 1 read
Nine stories by Russian women. In She Who Bears No Ill, a woman disfigured by a disease prefers to be locked up in a mental institution rather than be looked at with repugnance outside, while The Day of the Poplar Flakes describes the shoddy treatment of terminally ill patients in a provincial hospital.

This is a collection of short stories. Some great and some not so good. "She Who Bares No Ill" by Yelena Tarasova was the best. Pretty good collection though just a little hit or miss.
