<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A hybrid novella of prose poems, drawings, and collages that present a spectacularly imaginative and vivid fairy tale of children "parented by air" in a Moscow subway station.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"How exhilarating to encounter a novella this spectacularly imaginative, with every page and collage adding new elements to the building complexity of this resonant story. Libin's lyrical text is as captivating as her collages, what a gorgeous, extraordinary book." -Idra Novey, author of <em>Those Who Knew </em>(Viking)<em><br></em></p><p><i>Orphan of the Moon</i> is a living, breathing, hybrid work unlike anything I've ever read-an orphan's notebook exhumed from the Moscow station and entrusted to your own red heart. An astonishing evocation of the subterranean universe of childhood, at once devastating and inspiring, a young girl's yearning for the world she's lost, for fresh strawberries, her birth name, and love; a fractured song of forgetting and remembering, and a testament to the death-defying power of art: "dark spits at me, I spit back." "The station sanctuaries us," writes Libin, and this book's broken-winged poetry did the same for me. -Karen Russell author of <i>Orange World and Other Stories </i>(Knopf)</p>
