The Experiment
Myrto Azina Chronides'sbook attempts to unify subtly connected narratives, partial tales that lean toward the structure of a more synthetic prose piece, but which cannot be regarded as either novella or novel. The book does not fit within any traditional genre of creative prose. The Experiment can be characterized as 'a study on erotic love and the soul'. From the beginning, He and She, take a pledge to undergo an 'experiment', retrace erotic love and their relation by abstaining from carnal contact so as to devote themselves to writing. She, 'a woman in perpetual search' is an unbowed woman who claims her freedom; and He, 'a wise man, a believer in the Socratic "All I know is that I know no...

Gogol's Disco
In a parallel or future Estonia, whose language has been outlawed and its native population deported after the invasion by the Russian Tsardom, Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol is resurrected, Christ-like, bringing phantasmagoric mayhem to the sleepy town of Viljandi. By the end of the story, four evangelists will have emerged from the novel’s ragtag cast of Russian- speaking beatniks, bohemians, booksellers, blaggers, and Beatles- maniacs to write their subversive Gogol Gospels in the local insane asylum, despite efforts to thwart them on the part of the mysterious Murka, heroine of a criminal underworld ballad and agent of the Tsardom’s secret police. By turns exuberant, grotesque, erudite, oneiric, hilarious, mystical, psychedelic, and dystopian, Gogol’s Disco tells the parable of a small nation, whose gigantic neighbor quite literally consigns its literature to the latrine, only for it to rise from the dead in a literarily spectacular apocalypse in the best traditions of Bulgakov and magic realism.
Eva Fuková
After the Second World War, Czech avant-garde photographer Eva Fuková and her first husband, Vladimir Fuka, were close to the artists of Skupina 42. In 1967, they emigrated to the United States, where Eva Fuková has continued to make work that renders the familiar strange by blending absurdity with raw inspiration.
The Daughter
CALL ME RARAOU, if you please, I was born in Rampartville, the capital city, even if it's only a provincial capital. Guess I was around fifteen when we left the place, me and my ma and half a loaf of dry bread between us, a couple of months after they pilloried her it was, they were still celebrating that so-called Liberation of theirs. Not even a team of wild horses could ever drag me back there. Ma neither, Buried her right here, I did, in Athens, the only luxury she ever asked for, her last will and testament. 'My child, I'm dying, but grant me my last wish, bury me here. I never want to go back there. (She may have been born in the place but she never said the word "Rampartville".) I don...
