pickMore historiography than novel. Gorgeous prose, the result of Stepanova and a brilliantly able translator in Sasha Dugdale.
What do we do with memories? What function do objects of memory, like photos, serve? Written by a Gen X author with her analog childhood and digital adulthood. She grew up in Russia, her adulthood commenced at the dissolution of the USSR. That history makes this work particularly compelling.
