These mostly young authors grew up in independent Georgia, and the stories they tell are all set during the post-Soviet era.  Some are amusing, some sad, but all well-written and well translated.  My personal favourite was Lado Kilasonia&#8217;s &#8220;The Bronx Tale A La Gold Quarter&#8221; which brought a smile to my face.   Highly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This short book of ten short stories about the Georgian capital can be read in an afternoon &#8212; and what a memorable afternoon that would be.
