The world Ifland presents is both foreign and familiar. The Eastern Europe of which Ifland writes is not a place that I, myself, have ever known and yet I feel as though I am right there while reading it. "Elegy for a Fabulous World" combines folklore and a child's world view with realism and the cynical attitudes of an adult. The juxtaposition between the surreal and the completely real place the reader at a crossroads where they find themselves fully absorbed within the tale Ifland has woven for them. I am reminded of writers such as Flannery O'Connor and yet "Elegy" has an quality all it's own. This book is everything contemporary "gothic" literature (though I am deeply hesitant to put this book into any one genre) should be. ( )
