The Book of Riga: A City in Short Fiction by Eva Eglaja-Kristsone, Becca Parkinson

5.0

I really love this series so far, after reading this and Book of Karthoum. These are cities/countries I’ve thought very little about and it’s great to get a glimpse into their history and daily life. All the stories are quality and there’s a great variety of subject matter and tone among them. I know a ton of work goes into these, but I can’t help but wish they were twice as long to extend my visit just a bit longer. Sadly, I think it’s quite difficult to find much Latvian literature in translation in the grand scheme of things. I would love to read more from some of these authors
