Collected stories and novellas introducing one of Russia's best contemporary writersIgor Klekh emerges as a writer from the crossroads of Europe -- Western Ukraine -- influenced by the great Russian literary tradition as well as the languages and dialects of both East-Central Europe and his native country. As one of the brightest lights to come out of the postperestroika literary scene, Klekh's work has been welcomed as a synthesis of multiple literary traditions and celebrated as some of the most breathtakingly original prose of recent years.The publication of his novella Kallimakh's Wake (included in this collection) in 1993, and his work since, has drawn comparisons to Jorge Luis Borges -- for the blurring of boundaries between forms and styles; to Nikolai Gogol's work in both Russian and Ukrainian; to Umberto Eco's use of esoteric knowledge; and to the stylistic innovations reminiscent of Latin American magical realists. A Land the Size of Binoculars collects the five short pieces and novella that comprise Klekh's "Galician Motifs, " plus two more-recent novellas. Throughout, Klekh passes over landscapes as intimate as the terrain between fathers and sons and as broad as the wild and mysterious Carpathian Mountains.
