Quaternity. Four Novellas from the Carpathians
Maria Rybakova


Four thematically linked novellas that focus on obsessive relationships, stolen identities, and illusions of grandeur in the post-1989 Carpathian-Balkan region:

<br/>

● An American expat in Europe appropriates the identity of a Romanian orphan in her desperate search for love.

<br/>

● A dictator&apos;s daughter learns, while on a study trip to France, that her parents have been overthrown and are about to be executed.

<br/>

● A minor character from a novel confronts her own insignificance.

<br/>

A wife announces to her husband of forty years that she&apos;s just been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
