Baba Yaga Laid an Egg (Myths) Unknown - 2010

by Ugresic, Dubravka, And Elias-Bursac, Ellen, Ms. (Translated By), And Hawkesworth, Celia (Translated By)


From the publisher

According to Russian myth, Baba Yaga is a witch who lives in a house built on chicken legs and who kidnaps small children. In Baba Yaga Laid an Egg, internationally acclaimed writer Dubravka Ugresic takes the timeless legend and spins it into a fresh and distinctly modern tale of femininity, aging, identity, and love. With barbed wisdom and razor-sharp wit, Ugresic weaves together the stories of four women in contemporary Eastern Europe: a writer who grants her dying mother's final wish by traveling to her hometown in Bulgaria, an elderly woman who wakes up every day hoping to die, a buxom blonde hospital worker who's given up on love, and a serial widow who harbors a secret talent for writing. Through the women's fears and desires, and their struggles against invisibility, Ugresic presents a brilliantly postmodern retelling of an ancient myth that is infused with "a human warmth . . . [and] the sweet magic of storytelling"(Times Saturday Review).
