Sana Krasikov (born in Ukraine) is a writer living in the United States. She grew up in the Republic of Georgia, as well as the United States. She graduated from Cornell University in 2001 where she lived at the Telluride House,[1] and from the Iowa Writers' Workshop. In 2017 she was named one of Granta's Best Young American Novelists. In 2019 The Patriots won France's Prix Du Premiere Roman Etranger prize for best first novel in translation.
Krasikov is the author of the novel The Patriots,[2] which explores the tangled relationship between Russia and America through the perspectives of one American family moving back and forth between continents over three generations. The novel's main character, Florence Fein, makes a reverse immigration from Brooklyn to Moscow during the Great Depression. The story also touches on Russia's state-supported oil and gas industry. The Spectator has written, "as an intelligent literary commentary on Russo-American relations of the past century, it's unparalleled." The Patriots has been praised as 'timely', 'current' and 'urgently relevant' by The New York Times,[3]Tablet,[4]The Guardian,[5] and other publications.
Krasikov's debut short story collection, One More Year, released in 2008, first drew critical acclaim for its exploration of the lives of Russian and Georgian immigrants who had settled in the United States. It received favorable reviews from The San Francisco Chronicle,[6]The Boston Globe, Oprah Magazine,[7]Entertainment Weekly,[8]The New York Times,[9]and The New York Sun.[10] It was later named a finalist for the 2009 PEN/Hemingway Award and The New York Public Library's Young Lions Fiction Award, received a National Book Foundation's "5 under 35" Award, and won the 2009 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature. In her stories, which appeared first in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Zoetrope and other magazines, one catches a glimpse of the new twenty-first century moment that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union. The short story 'Companion, won an O.Henry Award, and was longlisted for the Best American Short Stories, as were two other stories in the collection. The story Asal, which appeared in The Virginia Quarterly, garnered a National Magazine Award nomination. 'One More Year' has gone on to be translated into eleven languages.
"The Muddle" was first published in The New Yorker in 2022 and selected for 2023 edition of The Best American Short Stories anthology series. It was written after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and depicts divisions within families and friends, and includes a Russian-Ukrainian mixed marriage.
