Riassunto

In Sentence, Mikhail Iossel performs a remarkable juggling act between genres and countries. Can you write a "Russian" sentence in English? The author has found a perfect syntactical solution to the opposition of past and present in this groundbreaking collection of one-sentence stories: everything is simultaneous, breathless, in a dizzying spin of memory and imagination. The past and the present are inseparable—but the sentence is here, as a celebration of linguistic freedom and virtuosity.
