An exploration of life at the margins of history from one of Russia’s most exciting contemporary writers Shortlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize Winner of the MLA Lois Roth Translation Award With the death of her aunt, the narrator is left to sift through an apartment full of faded photographs, old postcards, letters, diaries, and heaps of souvenirs: a withered repository of a century of life in Russia. Carefully reassembled with calm, steady hands, these shards tell the story of how a seemingly ordinary Jewish family somehow managed to survive the myriad persecutions and repressions of the last century. In dialogue with writers like Roland Barthes, W. G. Sebald, Susan Sontag, and Osip Mandelstam, In Memory of Memory is imbued with rare intellectual curiosity and a wonderfully soft-spoken, poetic voice. Dipping into various forms—essay, fiction, memoir, travelogue, and historical documents—Stepanova assembles a vast panorama of ideas and personalities and offers an entirely new and bold exploration of cultural and personal memory.

Former high school classmates reckon with the death of a friend in this stunning debut novel. Along the Intracoastal waterways of North Florida, Daniel and Aubrey navigated adolescence with the electric intensity that radiates from young people defined by otherness: Aubrey, a self-identified "Southern cracker" and Daniel, the mixed-race son of Jamaican immigrants. When the news of Aubrey’s death reaches Daniel in New York, years after they’d lost contact, he is left to grapple with the legacy of his precious and imperfect love for her. At ease now in his own queerness, he is nonetheless drawn back to the muggy haze of his Palm Coast upbringing, tinged by racism and poverty, to find out what happened to Aubrey. Along the way, he reconsiders his and his family’s history, both in Jamaica and in this place he once called home. Buoyed by his teenage track-team buddies—Twig, a long-distance runner; Desmond, a sprinter; Egypt, Des’s girlfriend; and Jess, a chef—Daniel begins a frantic search for meaning in Aubrey’s death, recklessly confronting the drunken country boy he believes may have killed her. Sensitive to the complexities of class, race, and sexuality both in the American South and in Jamaica, All the Water I’ve Seen Is Running is a novel of uncommon tenderness, grief, and joy. All the while, it evokes the beauty and threat of the place Daniel calls home—where the river meets the ocean.

Set in the days of violent revolution against British rule in India, "A Living Memory" begins in a remote village, Alipur, at the bank of Mahi River in India, where families live in harmony in a close-knit community surrounding a sugar mill. Life in the community remains serene, not affected by the outside turmoil, as Romi and Tushar grow up playing and having adventures in a rural setup. As they mature, their paths diverge but they remain in close contact maintaining their old intimacy. One day a young girl, Runu, is found missing from her home. She was being held captive by a man of authority in the community. Later, as she walks to a house late one night, Tushar and his friends recognize her and bring her back home. The story then begins to unfold the life of Runu, along with Tushar, as she goes through a tumultuous life in uncertainty and disappointments as well as love and hopes. She longs for reaching her living memories and to her dismay finds that time has robbed her dreams. The story reflects the complexities of life in love, desire and social conflicts. Life in a small close community with scenes of a rural village in India has been eloquently described. Significant historical events, like the revolt against colonial power, great famine and horror of communal riots of the1930s and 40s that changed the social and political landscape of India are entwined with the characters' lives. Born in India, the author was educated and professionally engaged in scientific disciplines and moved to the United States in the 60s. On the literary side, he has written many short stories and essays for various magazines and published his first novel, "Her Own Path" in 2002.
