Description:
Igor Klekh emerges as a writer from the crossroads of Europe--Western Ukraine--influenced by the great Russian literary tradition as well as the languages and dialects of both East-Central Europe and his native country. Klekh's work has been compared to that of Borges, Eco, and the magical realists, and celebrated for its synthesis of numerous literary traditions, its use of esoteric knowledge, and its breathtaking prose.
