The graceful, ironic, and sometimes acerbic stories of Nadezhda Lokhvitskaya, who became famous as Taffy more than 100 years ago, have been regularly reprinted since the 1990s. But these are mostly early humorous or lyrical émigré prose.
Meanwhile, her pre-revolutionary feuilletons remained in the shadows for a long time. And now, at last, they are published for the first time under one cover. These brilliantly written notes on Russian everyday life in the early twentieth century, full of subtle observations and accurate assessments, resonate with the present day in a surprising way - we have so much in common with Taffy's characters, and her stories are written in such a lively and malleable language.
