Death of a Prototype
The Portrait
Victor Beilis
translated by Leo ShtutinDeath of a Prototype’s plot focuses on the artistic endeavours of a group of Muscovite intellectuals and unfolds against a backdrop of serious and jocular conversations, distorted-mirror parodies and riddles. The male protagonists— predominantly writers and visual artists—expend their creative energies in fashioning an authentic portrait of Adele, the ever-metamorphosing “prototype” of the title. However, they are themselves forever changing and morphing into other characters. Likewise, the stories they tell—and the pictures they paint—are never the same.

Norah Hoult’s ‘Poor Women!’
A Critical Edition
Edited by Kathleen P. Costello-Sullivan
“Norah Hoult’s ‘Poor Women!'’: A Critical Edition” reintroduces a significant yet critically-neglected 20th-century Irish author. Hoult’s stories capture the restrictions imposed on women by society and its institutions. Often compared to writers such as Sean O’Faolain, Frank O’Connor, Kate O’Brien and Edna O’Brien, her work also shares characteristics with James Joyce and Mary Lavin.
