'See the Other Side', by Tatyana Tolstaya
I first encountered Tolstaya's fiction in the Guardian, some time in the early 1990s. I wish I could find that story again. I have both her collections of short fiction, but I wasn't aware until recently that she'd written a post-apocalypse novel, Slynx. Her writing is often labelled 'magic realist', but to me it has quite a different flavour from the Latin / Mediterranean writers (Marquez, Eco, Allende, de Bernieres on a good day) that I tend to associate with that style.
