Z Space: Word for Word’s Off the Page ‘Smoke and Shadows’ at Z Below

“Smoke and Shadows” by Tatyana Tolstaya centers on a Russian woman living in the U.S., navigating her professional life as a professor, her intimate relationships, and the lingering pull of memory. As conversations unfold, small imbalances of power, desire, and misunderstanding come quietly into focus. Told with Tolstaya’s sharp, restrained eye, the story pays close attention to what passes between people and what remains unsaid.
