46:18Now PlayingMarra’s stunning first novel, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, won the National Book Critics Circle inaugural John Leonard Prize, the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award in fiction, and Politics & Prose’s inaugural Carla Cohen Literary Prize. His second book of fiction is a series of stories deftly interwoven by recurrent landscapes and themes. Many unfold in the former Soviet Union and Chechnya, charting instances of sacrifice, violence, and heartbreak that reverberate through the generations—countered, however, by family ties, storytelling, and Marra’s crystalline prose itself.
