The author discusses “Siberian Wood,” her story from the latest issue of the magazine.
” involves a circle of Russian émigrés living in New York, juggling relationships and reinventing themselves professionally. The female narrator’s husband has had four marriages, and the other central male character has had six. What do you think causes this high rate of turnover?
Daria is an idealist and a maximalist in every way. She believes in a perfect family life that simply doesn’t exist in reality. Early in the story, I hint that Daria’s childhood was possibly troubled, so her behavior and her desire to be “adopted” by other people may come from a subconscious need to fully experience that perfect childhood—with people showering her with unconditional love and not asking for anything in return—before she can move on to adulthood.
Why do you think the narrator becomes so obsessed with Daria? Does she see some version of herself in Daria—some path not followed?
