Literary Fiction Weird

This is the completionist's edition of the work of H.P. Lovecraft! Literally every single weird-fiction story he wrote, revised, or collaborated on - to the best of our knowledge - is in this one enormous volume. The stories are arranged chronologically and contextualized with a brief running biography of the life of this fascinating author.

From Steven Millhauser, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Martin Dressler and one of the most imaginative and essential voices of our time, comes a fable about a race of miniature people and the way of life they have come master within our own. By turns enchanting and provocative, The Little People explores the fascination and unease the little people create in us, examines our private desire to disappear into their world, and reveals what happens when our personal and romantic lives inevitably collide.

Miri thinks she has got her wife back when Leah finally returns after a deep sea mission that ended in catastrophe. It soon becomes clear, though, that Leah may have come back wrong. Whatever happened in that vessel, whatever it was they were supposed to be studying before they were stranded on the ocean floor, Leah has carried part of it with her, onto dry land and into their home. To have the woman she loves back should mean a return to normal life, but Miri can feel Leah slipping from her grasp.

Tradotti per la prima volta in italiano, i racconti dell'antologia "Larisa Komarova trova l'amore" offrono l'occasione per leggere una delle migliori scrittrici russe di fantascienza e new weird. Ekaterina Sedia attinge a piene mani dalla cosiddetta "russkaya dusha" (l'anima russa) e, sebbene alcune storie contengano riferimenti alla storia e al folklore nazionale, è chiaro che i temi trattati trascendono i confini della Russia per affrontare questioni universali come lo spaesamento, la precarietà dell'esistenza, la perdita dell'identità e l'ambiguità del futuro.
