title: On the Golden Porch
author: Tatyana Tolstaya
description: "The author's range is deliberately narrow, centering around the domestic crises of 'ordinary,' if eccentric individuals, whom she views with a sardonic eye," wrote PW , noting that "this collection marks Tolstaya as a natural storyteller who sheds fresh light on the contemporary Moscow scene." <br />Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
