Ваша оценкаThe Zanzibar Cat is one of those rare, near-perfect single author collections—it isn’t too much the same in any story, but it still has underlying themes and resonances that make the text coherent as a whole. The stories themselves are memorable in many cases not for their plots but for their execution, the fine detail Russ employs to build her worlds, and the emotions the stories can rouse in the reader.
