Description
From the story of Steffie Cvek to The Kharms Case, the pieces in Dubravka Ugresics collection Lend Me Your Character are always smart and endlessly entertaining. The former story paints a picture of a harassed and vulnerable typist whose life is shaped entirely by cliches. She searches endlessly for an elusive romantic love in a narrative punctuated by threadbare advice from womens magazines and constructed like a sewing pattern. The latter story is one of Ugresics funniest and is about the show more strained relationship between a persistent translator and an unresponsive publisher. show lessTags

Includes the short story, "The Kharms Case", a curious story that cleverly involves Daniil Kharms!
