A review by kzs
Rock, Paper, Scissors, and Other Stories by Maxim Osipov

Captivating. I had to really pace myself with these; I only read one story a day. I'm trying to understand Russia more as a country, a mindset, an attitude, and these stories gave me a small window into it. A lot of them are sad, but almost seem to repel pity. Proud, but cynical... I might reread these after I've read more Pushkin, it just feels like there are things I missed.
