Anya Ulinich

Ulinich turns her sharp eye toward the strange, sometimes unmooring world of grown-up' dating. After fifteen years of marriage, 37 year old Lena Lena embarks on a string of online dates and receives a brutally eye-opening education in love, sex, and loss while raising her two teenage daughters. With references to Bernard Malamud and Chekhov along the way, this is a smart, funny story told beautifully through Ulinich's text and drawings.'

Lena Finkle's Magic Barrel

Petropolis

Abandoned by her father and struggling under the shadow of her overbearing mother, Jewish-Siberian teen Sasha has a baby with a homeless alcoholic and becomes a mail-order bride as part of her quest to find her father in America.

In her stunning debut novel, Anya Ulinich delivers a funny and unforgettable story of a Russian mail-order bride trying to find her place in America. After losing her father, her boyfriend, and her baby, Sasha Goldberg decides that getting herself to the United States is the surest path to deliverance. But she finds that life in Phoenix with her Red Lobster-loving fiancé isn't much better than life in Siberia, and so she treks across America on a misadventure-filled search for her long- lost father. Petropolis is a deeply moving story about the unexpected connections that create a family and the faraway places that we end up calling home.
