Geschichten aus der Heimat

Glukhovsky's blending of fantasy and realism creates a surreal lens on real issues. I'm curious how these fantastical parts amplify the themes about homeland and identity.

Some stories felt deeply rooted in specific cultural references. I wonder if familiarity with Russian history or politics influences how we connect with these tales.

The title suggests a patriotic collection, but the stories seem to explore complex, sometimes dark aspects of homeland. I'm curious about the author's intention behind this framing.
