dear Petrov

'dear Petrov' is a collection of small stories written from an unnamed woman's point of view. The reader is never sure that Petrov actually exists. And in the end it's not important. What matters is that Tepper treats the reader to beautiful language expressing the hopes, fears and despair each of us wants to convey to another. And, as is the case in dear Petrov, that other may not exist. Simon Perchik, author of 'Hands Collected'
