Made in Tokyo

For her previous works, written in Russian, Tanya von Varchmin was named to the Long-List of the Debut Prize three times, and awarded a Gran Prix from a Steven Spielberg foundation for her short stories. The self-publication of one of Tanya’s novels, NEW YORK, generated lots of attention on social media. Among readers on Bookmate, a library of contemporary and classic authors, it received controversial reviews, the novel was compared to the “best examples of the written works of the Beat generation and Howl by Alan Ginsberg.”
