Оглавление“The emotions unleashed . . . are painfully universal. Yet you know exactly where in the universe you are. This is the hallmark of great short stories, from Chekhov’s portraits of discontented Russians to Joyce’s struggling Dubliners.”
—Radhika Jones, Time
“Without question one of the best—and possibly the best—story collection(s) of the year, Aidt’s [Baboon] appears for the first time in English after winning a major Nordic prize. Prepare to brave the darkness.”
— Jonathon Sturgeon, Flavorwire
“Undoubtedly one of the most intelligent writers of the contemporary literary world, Aidt is also clearly one of the most compassionate—and therefore one of the most important—voices in fiction. How she bears the weight of such empathic descriptions of her characters, who we feel for as though we had stumbled directly into their lives, is a credit to her brilliant insight into the human condition.”
— Jordan Anderson, Music & Literature
“This collection is for those who delight in the eccentric and the atmospheric; Aidt inspires readers to read between the lines.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A major literary event.”
—Los Angeles Review of Books
“Unusual, laconic language and . . . extraordinary plots. . . . You are faced with a universe that unmistakably is that of Naja Marie Aidt.”
—World Literature Today
