An Awkward Age

Informationen zum Autor Anna Starobinets is a Russian journalist and internationally published author whose first book! An Awkward Age! was nominated for Russia's prestigious National Bestseller Prize. Klappentext The title story of this enthralling compilation spins the tale of a boy growing into adolescence whose body appears to have been taken over by a colony of ants. His diary--initially expressed in the barely literate tones of a young child--becomes more accomplished and assured as the protagonist matures and eventually begins to give way to the voice of the ruler of the anthill. Featuring a direct, commendably unpretentious, and convincing style, the tales use recognizably modern Russian settings to explore the contemporary condition of man both in Russia and further afield.
