A collection of 3 short stories inspired by true events in Siberia during the last century. These stories, directly taken from I. W. Zilke's immediate family history, present a special world in a gripping and unforgettable manner. With an unflinching insight into the dark depths of the human soul, the author portrays the entire palette of human suffering through an inverted mirror: from cannibalism as an act of courage (in Tabula Rasa) to a rapist with an honourable heart (in Emma), and a stuttering child who overcomes his predicament for the first time in an act of violence (in Feathers). And while all of the stories are set in Siberia, they encompass the full human experience and due to Zilke's eye for detail, like a surgeon's knife, they can hit closer to home than expected.
