Razor-sharp social commentary, Jane Austen for contemporary feminists unafraid to confront a dark world

In her latest translated volume of collected short fiction, Rumena Buzarovska delivers more of what established her as "one of the most interesting writers working in Europe today." Already a bestseller across her native Macedonia, I'm Not Going Anywhere is an unsentimental and hyperrealist collection in which Macedonians leave their country of origin to escape bleakness--only to find, in other locales, new kinds of desolation in theses dark, biting, and utterly absorbing stories.
