Review of Sanya Dimova, “The Price of Gold,” Luna Station Quarterly 63 (September 2025): 161-168 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
This was a sweet little fairy tale, interestingly told. It is primarily the story of childhood sweethearts Lena and Zlatan, but telling the tale is a narrative “we” that we, the reader, are never introduced to, nor do we ever figure out their relationship to Lena and Zlatan. I found that stylistic choice almost more interesting than the story itself!
