This issue of World Literature today gathers essays, poems, short stories and plays from the Central Asian republics of Azerbaijan, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Each republic is presented separately with an introduction brushing a picture of its cultural heritage, the types of works produced during the Soviet era, and the consequences of glasnost and perestroika on literary creation. Besides highlighting the contributions of major literary figures from Central Asia, this review's most recent pieces provide a rare insight into the anxieties and concerns of a younger generation of writers.
