The Books Oracle
by Dubravka Ugrešić
Baba Yaga is a witch-like character who flies around on a giant mortar, kidnapping small children, living in a house on chicken feet. Dubravka Ugrešić reimagines this terrifying figure of Russian folklore through a postmodern feminist lens, weaving together mythology, autobiography, and cultural criticism into a wildly inventive meditation on aging, female power, and the stories we inherit.
