Issue 13. June 2011 : GINA OCHSNER Sleeping Beauty

from The Drum: A Literary Magazine For Your Ears · host The Drum Literary Magazine

Gina Ochsner's "Sleeping Beauty" is a retelling of the old story, set in Yakusha, one of the coldest parts of Russia. In this version, the beauty of the title is a young girl working in a Russian market, seemingly trapped inside her kiosk until a suitor with an unlikely errand frees her. Ochsner's prose mingles the lush details and fantastic elements of folk tales with the realities of the contemporary world.
