Paperback. Condizione: Good. 'Ugresic is a writer to follow. A writer to be cherished.'Susan SontagBaba Yaga is an old hag who lives in a house built on chicken legs and eats children. She appears in many forms: as Pupa, a tricksy, cantankerous old woman who keeps her legs tucked into a huge furry boot; as a trio of mischievous elderly women who embark on the trip of a lifetime to a hotel spa; and as a villainous flock of ravens, black hens and magpies infected with the H5N1 virus. But what story does Baba Yaga have to tell us today?This is a quizzical tale about one of the most pervasive and powerful creatures in all mythology, and an extraordinary yarn of identity, secrets, storytelling and love.'Packed with intellectual surprises and emotional revelations.'Tina Jackson, Metro'Ugresic's retelling may be blisteringly postmodern in its execution but at its heart is a human warmth and even asilliness that infuses it with the sweet magic of storytelling.'Melissa Katsoulis, The Times'A profound and startling meditation on the themes of femininity and ageing.'London Review of Books'Beautifully written . . . its humane vision of the world is driven by great imaginative impetus.'Times Literary Supplement.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A blistering, laugh out loud takedown of every aspect of the book industry - from editors to agents to booksellers to best-selling celebs. Thank You for Not Reading is a biting critique of book publishing: agents, subagents, and scouts, supermarket-like bookstores, Joan Collins, book fairs that have little to do with books, authors promoted because of sex appeal instead of merit, and editors trying to look like writers by having their photograph taken against a background of bookshelves. Nowadays, the best strategy for young authors wanted to publish is to become famous in some other capacity first - as a sports star, an actress, or an Ivana Trump. One of the most interesting and paradoxical comparisons coming out of Ugresic's dissection of book culture is the similarity between the art of socialist realism (as prescribed by the Soviets) and the nature of the contemporary marketplace to produce and promote art that appeals to everyone. Thanks to cultural forces like listicles and celebrity book clubs, the publishing machine neglects literature in favor of accessible, entertaining books for the masses. …

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Ugresic, ever the flaneur, wanders from the Midwest to Zuccotti Park, the Irish Aran Islands to Jerusalem's Mea Shearim, from the tristesse of Dutch housing estates to the riots of South London, charting everything from the listlessness of Central Europe to the ennui of the Low Countries. One finger on the pulse of an exhausted Europe, another in the wounds of post-industrial America, Ugresic trawls the fallout of political failure and the detritus of popular culture, mining each for revelation.…
