“Book Descriptions: A new collection of adult fairy tales from New York Times-bestselling Ludmilla Petrushevskaya, Russia's greatest living absurdist and surrealist writer.
At first glance, the stories in The New Adventures of Helen seems simple, even child-like, but a deep reading reveals satire and darkness manifested through classic fairy tale tropes characteristically upended by Petrushevskaya. These "adult fairy tales" ask deep questions about gender, love, history, memory, and the future, taking place in times between history and the now. These stories, quirky but with a confident hopefulness the Brothers Grimm would never dream of, will inspire and provoke English-speaking readers across the globe.” DRIVE
