"The heroes' smug selfrighteousness is more and more tightly circumscribed until it collapses in a gruesome ending worthy of Nabokov... Glas is worth whatever it costs for this novel alone." — Irish Times
"You know, Olga..." I touched her fingers, "after our socialist revolution I have come to the conclusion that the Russian people do not entirely lack a sense of humour after all..." — Anatoly Mariengof's long lost masterpiece Cynics

Published in 1991, the first Glas collection reflects the post-Soviet wave of new writing, as well as some rediscovered classics, offering a wide-ranging variety of literary trends. Since then most of the authors from this collection have been published around the world.
