Boris Kuzminsky. Little Moscow saga
Ian McEwen. Amsterdam. - M.: Publishing House Nezavisimaya Gazeta, 1999 This is how novels are now in Europe: 150 pages, maximum 200. That is, of course, eight hundred bricks are published, but in reality they usually turn out to be either mass cult fiction or works of literary dinosaurs, which are published out of respect for the prehistoric merits of the author. And only thin volumes get the spotlight of critics. And prestigious awards go to them.
