Reviews

'Latvia is a country we have heard almost nothing about since its separation from the Soviet Union. Nora Ikstena is proving that Latvia is speaking in a bold and original voice.' ROSIE GOLDSMITH, JOURNALIST AND BROADCASTER.; 'Nora Ikstena's fiction opens up new paths not only for Latvian literature in English translation but for English literature itself.' JEREMY DAVIS, DALKEY ARCHIVE PRESS.
