The collection is an overview of a century of Lithuanian writing with an excellent introduction that places the work in a historical context. Lithuania is a country at an unforgiving crossroads, a place that was buffeted by Czarists, Soviets, and Nazis, with little more than forty years of independence in the last hundred. Include the experience of the Holocaust and massive deportations to the Gulag and you have a series of traumas imprinted on the collective mind...The reader willing to wander a little farther afield and poke around in this book of Lithuanian writing will find human and literary nature displayed in surprising and illuminating ways.
