My Dreadful Body A dazzling debut novel about a young woman's vexed coming of age in a traditional Azerbaijani community in Russia, grappling under the weight of Muslim

"But it is also about having the power to fight back. To find your voice and to use it. By writing the body into language in this honestly perfect novel, Djabbarova transforms alienation into agency, and the colonized body into a site of resistance." newvesselpress.com/books/my-dre...

MY DREADFUL BODY gets rave review @fullstopmag.bsky.social “Essential feminist, anticolonial reading . . . MY DREADFUL BODY is about power. The power of one nation to colonize another, which is in turn echoed by the power of men to control women . . . "

Untraceable A psychological thriller about the historical trajectories of evil as the Kremlin sought to develop the ultimate venom to retaliate against its critics.

"This dark, queasy novel goes straight for the horrible heart of Russia’s black ops—the old Soviet bioweapons program that resulted in the real-world poisonings of Alexei Navalny and others," @michaelidov.bsky.social says of Sergei Lebedev's thriller UNTRACEABLE.
