The Crystal Stomach of an Angel

Marina Moskvin is the author of the novels “Cryo,” “A Romance with the Moon,” “The Genius of Unrequited Love,” the books “My Dog Loves Jazz,” “Golden Sunday,” and many others, a finalist for the “Yasnaya Polyana” award and a laureate of the International Honorary Diploma IBBY. “The Crystal Stomach of an Angel” is the new book of stories by Marina Moskvina. “I am searching for fragments, scraps, bits, everything that can resurrect the soul and body. Thousands of people live within me. Some of them have long been gone from this world. Yet they continue to sing, laugh, seek adventures for themselves, celebrate New Year’s, and dance the Charleston on the table. From a seed of chance grows a sprawling tree of the tale, reality intertwines with fiction, everything begins to swirl, shimmer, and transforms into myth.”
