"The Slynx is a profound work. It is well served by Jamey Gambrell's fine translation."--Books in Canada An "intelligent debut novel...Tolstaya sketches a vivid picture of life...she captures the Russian yearning for culture, even in desperate circumstances. Gambrell ably translates the mix of neologisms and plain speech with which Tolstaya describes this devastated world."--Publisher's Weekly "She writes as a participant in her country's lamentable history, and she is a spinning fury, emitting words like sparks, enraged, saved from choking on the absurdities she has been called to witness only by the irresistible need to laugh at them...Tolstaya has a cold eye, an ardent heart and an airy wit."--The New York Times
