Widows Dance: Selected Short Stories of Contemporary Ukraine

by Scott H. Lewis

These eight short fictional stories by American writer Scott Lewis examine the slightly dark side of life in modern Ukraine. Told with a sense of humor and easy, almost conversational style, each tackles a different aspect of the country's business, family, political and folkloric life. The author, who has resided in Kyiv for a decade, is a former newspaper editor and presently is a public relations consultant.

[Alex Shaw · Rating 5 out of 5]

A varied mix of short stories each with a Ukrainian flavour. Scott Lewis displays his knowledge of Kyiv in the same manner that James Joyce did of Dublin. My personal favourite here is the grittiest story - `The Organ Grinders'.
