Petrushevskaya, Ludmilla (Translated by Sally Laird).
THE TIME: NIGHT.
New York City, NY: Pantheon, 1994. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 155 pages. As New/As New. The author's first novel to be translated into English. Since she appeared on the Russian literary scene in the 1970's, Petrushevskaya has produced a steady outpouring of short stories and plays. This novel portrays the gritty, day-to-day life of ordinary Russians. While the facts of the story are relentlessly depressing, the author's black humor and straightforward prose result in an insightful portrait of a family in crisis. A "must-have" title for Ludmilla Petrushevskaya collectors. This title has been out-of-print as a hardcover for a long time. This is one of few copies of the First English-language Edition still available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A scarce copy thus. Shortlisted for the Russian Booker Prize in 1992. Winner of the Pushkin Prize. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A flawless copy. . ISBN 0679436162. $25.00 |
