The author of this book is the well-known Soviet poet and prose writer, Kayum Tangrykuliev. If you and I were to decide to pay him a visit, we would first have to climb aboard a train, or better still, an airplane, and fly far to the south of the Soviet Union, to sunny, hot Turkmenia • This is a fascinating land. Alongside the bright-colored cars and trucks on the city streets you can see the proud camel plodding along, or the donkey with its large sad eyes. Growing in the fields you will find cotton, from which lovely materials are woven which are then used to make clothing for young and old. And the orchards are filled with every kind of luscious fruit imaginable: bright red apples, brown pears, pomegranates packed full of ripe seeds, vines laden with juicy grapes, apricots, and even almonds

Wolves abound through cultural folklore and through literature – vilified and venerated in equal measure. In Wolfish, Erica Berry examines these depictions, alongside her own research of the wolf for nearly a decade, to get to the heart of what our stories about the wolf reveal about our relationships with one another and ourselves: ‘What does it mean to want to embody the same creature from which you are supposed to be running?’ • The wolf is so often depicted as the male predator, preying on the vulnerable girl/woman who strays from the path; the she-wolf meanwhile depicts women who sit outside the accepted boundaries of feminine behaviour. Berry openly recounts her own uncomfortable and sometimes frightening experiences as a woman to try to understand how we navigate our fears when threat can seem constant
