Beschreibung:
Laura Vinogradova (1984) is the author of a children's book ("Baby Long Nose from the Long Nose Village") and two collections of short stories ("exhalations" and "Bear Hill"). River is her first novel and was shortlisted for the 2020 Latvian Literature Award, and received a 2021 EU Prize for Literature.
Rute is no stranger to displacement and loss. As a child she and her older sister, Dina, were subject to their mother’s romantic whims, moving from house to house, boyfriend to boyfriend. Then, when the sisters were in their late twenties, Dina disappeared. In the decade that has since passed, Rute has become a husk of her former self, going through the motions in work, life, and love, composing daily letters to Dina in the hopes they’ll one day see each other again.
