Sinopsis

'How exhilarating to encounter a novella this spectacularly imaginative, with every page and collage adding new elements to the building complexity of this resonant story. LibinâÇÖs lyrical text is as captivating as her collages, what a gorgeous, extraordinary book.' -Idra Novey, author of Those Who Knew (Viking)Orphan of the Moon is a living, breathing, hybrid work unlike anything IâÇÖve ever read-an orphanâÇÖs notebook exhumed from the Moscow station and entrusted to your own red heart. An astonishing evocation of the subterranean universe of childhood, at once devastating and inspiring, a young girlâÇÖs yearning for the world sheâÇÖs lost, for fresh strawberries, her birth name, and love, a fractured song of forgetting and remembering, and a testament to the death-defying power of art: 'dark spits at me, I spit back.' 'The station sanctuaries us,' writes Libin, and this bookâÇÖs broken-winged poetry did the same for me. -Karen Russell author of Orange World and Other Storiesá(Knopf)
