One of the first Russian writers to make a name for herself on the Internet, Linor Goralik writes conversational short works that conjure the absurd in all its forms, reflecting post-Soviet life & daily universals. Her mastery of the minimal, including a wide range of experiments in different forms of micro-prose, is on full display in this collection of poems, stories, comics, a play, & an interview, here translated for the first time. In Found Life, speech, condensed to the extreme, captures a vivid picture of fleeting interactions in a quickly moving world. Goralik`s works evoke an unconventional palette of moods & atmospheres-slight doubt, subtle sadness, vague unease-through accumulation of unexpected details & command over colloquial language. While calling up a range of voices, her works are marked by a distinct voice, simultaneously slightly naive & deeply ironic. She is a keen observer of the female condition, recounting gendered tribulations with awareness & amusement. From spiritual rabbits & biblical zoos to poems about loss & comics about poetry, Goralik`s colorful language & pervasive dark comedy capture the heights of absurdity & depths of grief. ...
