A collection of 3 short stories inspired by true events in Siberia during the last century.

These stories, directly taken from I. W. Zilke's immediate family history, present a special world in a gripping and unforgettable manner. With an unflinching insight into the dark depths of the human soul, the author portrays the entire palette of human suffering through an inverted mirror: from cannibalism as an act of courage (in Tabula Rasa) to a rapist with an honourable heart (in Emma), and a stuttering child who overcomes his predicament for the first time in an act of violence (in Feathers). And while all of the stories are set in Siberia, they encompass the full human experience and due to Zilke's eye for detail, like a surgeon's knife, they can hit closer to home than expected.

I.W. Zilke was born in 1988 in Siberia. Following the breakup of the Soviet Union, Zilke's family relocated to Germany. After she graduated from high school, she read Art History at the University of Glasgow. Later she pursued an M.A. in Creative Writing at Teesside University where she graduated with distinction. The author derives her ideas from her numerous travels and from her personal interest in her own biographical roots, as well as from studying the turbulent history of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, which is closely connected to her family history. She also writes under the pseudonym 'Isabeau Kelm'.
