This deeply moving collection by Russian-American writer and medical scientist Shrayer-Petrov includes three short stories and the autobiographical novel Strange Danya Rayev, detailing a young Jewish boy's memories of evacuation during WWII. Varied in scope, ranging from a doctor's doomed love and exile to a Siberian prison camp, to a Japanese professor's love for an American woman, these haunting stories evidence a past teeming with tradition and struggle, told in beautiful, inventive prose.
