A review by magicschooltokoro
St. Petersburg Noir by Natalia Smirnova, Julia Goumen

I think my favorites were the first story of part I, Training Day by Andrei Kivinov, taken place at Kupchino; Drunk Harbor by Lena Eltang, taken place at Drunk Harbor of part II (reminded me of Scandinavian fiction and "The Discontinuity of Small Things"); and both The Nutcracker by Anton Chizh, taken place at Haymarket Square and The Hairy Sutra by Pavel Krusanov, taken place at Moika Embankment of part III.
