The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
A poet and prose writer who grew up in eastern Europe before coming to the U.S. nearly twenty years ago, Alta Ifland visits with a rich, beautiful debut collection of stories, Elegy for a Fabulous World (Ninebark Press). "Alta Ifland's short stories work from the energy of defamiliarization, as some of the best pieces of literature do. When a reader gets comfortably situated in her world, she catapults her or him into another 'dangerously' different perspective. Her universe if made of opposites: it's warm and chilly, deeply humane and strangely absurd, gentle and rough, humorous and sad." - Dubravka Ugresic. "Alta Ifland's uncanny tales merge the child's innocent seeing with the sorrowful knowledge of myth. A gone world prospers in the real time of memory, its immediacies restored, its deeper significance coming clear like a shape disclosed by the archeologist's pick." - Sven Birkerts.
