Reading Grudova's work is like falling upside down into a grimy, torrid underworld crowded with absurdities and the putrid banalities of existence. Her odd and endearing caricatures are hard to shake, long after the last page has been read, and the inescapable filthy squalor leaves an unwashable film. I love it.

Claustrophobic comes to mind. Had to stop reading over breakfast because it made me feel sick. A writer to watch. Waxy was my favourite.
