Mikhail Weller’s “serious” stories are nothing like the easy, light yarns from the book “Legends of Nevsky Prospect,” nothing like the contagious and irresistible pushiness of “Zvyagin” and nothing like the calm reflections of “The Samovar.”
They are nothing like any stories. And in general, Mikhail Weller’s books aren’t even similar to each other—let alone to the books of other authors. He is a brilliant stylist. He invents plots. Every story is built using its own special technique. The endings are unexpected everywhere, and there are no unnecessary words.
An audiobook for true lovers of genuine literature.
