A new collection of adult fairy tales from a Russian literary legend.
At first glance, the stories in The New Adventures of Helen seem simple. But a deep reading reveals satire and darkness manifested through classic fairy-tale tropes, which Petrushevskaya upens as only she can. These 'adult fairy tales' ask deep questions about gender, love, the past, memory, and the future, taking place in a time between history and the now. The stories, quirky yet imbued with a confident hopefulness, will inspire and provoke English-speaking readers across the globe.
