Description
Vadim Shefner’s core creative principle is to create ordinary miracles, where his characters—simple and unpretentious—make miracles without giving it special importance, as long as it brings joy to others. In his works, there are also more complex characters who perform practical miracles, such as four-sided bicycle spokes or soap titled “Don’t Steal,” containing black liquid for marking thieves. These elements form the uniqueness of Shefner’s creativity.
The author left a significant legacy, including the touching “Sister of Sorrow” and more than two dozen collections of lyrics. Yet above all, he excelled at stories about unusual people, where fantastic elements intertwine with reality so closely that it’s hard to determine the genre. In this respect, Shefner can be compared to Gabriel García Márquez, known for his role in developing magical realism—but with the difference that Shefner created on Russian soil.
