Contemporary Georgian Fiction

 

On May 23, 2012 the Ministry of Culture and Monument Protection of Georgia invites you at the distribution launch ceremony of the “Contemporary Georgian Fiction”. The publication was financed by the Ministry and published by USA publishing house “Dalkey Archive Press” in April, 2012. The official launching of the anthology was held on May 10, 2012 at the Library of Congress,Washington DC.

This volume brings together stories from twenty of the most influential contemporary authors to have emerged from the Republic of Georgia. Spanning fifty years, but with a particular emphasis on post-independence fiction, this collection features a diverse range of styles and voices, offering a window onto a vibrant literary scene that has been largely inaccessible to the English-language reader until now. With stories addressing subjects as diverse as blood feuds, betrayal, sex, drugs, and Sergio Leone, it promises to challenge any existing preconceptions the reader might hold, and make available a rich and varied literary tradition unjustly overshadowed by the other ex-Soviet republics, until now.
