Holy Light

Short stories

“Alloying political sci-fi with striking eroticism, the stories in Holy Light depict a world of endless, wearying revolution and apocalypse.”

PEN Translation Fund, announcing Translation Grant Winner Angela Rodel

“Utterly fascinating. Irony is combined with sincerity, realism and expressive detail with fantasy and dream. There is something very bracing, strange, it has irony and a complete kind of hilarity and sincerity about it – I was very, very struck.”

Siri Hustvedt on “Returning from the Hague,” a story from Holy Light published in GRANTA online
