“‘Barbara Isn’t Dying’ is another short yet substantial novel from Alina Bronsky. Deftly translated by Tim Mohr, the book has echoes with two of the Russian-born German author’s recent works which feature aging protagonists….warm, poignant and acerbically funny…a sharp-eyed and unsentimental character study of one man and his blinkered view of the world around him”—Malcom Forbes, Star Tribune.
