Every so often a new writer appears who is wiser than her years indicate, whose flesh-and-blood character types embody more experience than a young writer could possible know. Sana Krasikov is one particular authors. Her first publicized story appeared in the New Yorker, her second in The Atlantic Month to month’s fiction issue. One More Yr is her debut collection, consisting of stories of men and women who hold out hope, regardless of the possibilities, that life will be kind to them.
The character types who populate Krasikov’s testimonies are usually women–some are not used to America; some still stay in the previous Soviet Union, in Georgia or Russia; and some have returned to Russia to discover a country they hardly recognize and people they no longer understand. Mothers leave children behind; children abandon their parents. Almost all of them turn to want to repair their lives, so when love isn’t really there, they attempt to make do with associations that replacement for love.
Like Jhumpa Lahiri and ZZ Packer, two authors whose fully-realized character types drive their fiction, Sana Krasikov can be an exhilarating skill whose first collection places her on the map with today's most gifted young authors.
