The Story of an Artist. Nose Girl -- The Prince with Gold Hair -- Queen Lir -- Nettle and Raspberry -- Two Sisters -- The Story of an Artist.
Summary:
"At first glance, the stories in The New Adventures of Helen seems simple, even child-like, but a deep reading reveals satire and darkness manifested through classic fairy tale tropes characteristically upended by Petrushevskaya. These "adult fairy tales" ask deep questions about gender, love, history, memory, and the future, taking place in times between history and the now. These stories, quirky yet inspired by a confident hopefulness, will inspire and provoke English-speaking readers across the globe."-- Provided by publisher.
