Diary of a Blood Donor [Paperback]

In this contemporary retelling of Bram Stoker???s Dracula, Estonian writer Mati Unt offers a playful yet unsettling mixture of fact and fiction, combining pieces of Estonian political history???in particular the figure of Lydia Koidula (1843-1886), widely regarded as the first Estonian woman to express an Estonian longing for independence???with portraits of life in contemporary Estonia, all set against a backdrop of vampirism and the Gothic novel.
