Emma B. Wishes to Meet: The Best Stories of Graduates of the Floberium Literary Workshop

Before you is a collection of stories by graduates of the Floberium literary workshop. For two years, we - the creators of the Floberium literary agency and school, writer Tatyana Bulatova and editor Olga Aminova - selected the best works... of the most promising students for publication. Their mentors were iconic contemporary writers: Dina Rubina, Anna Bersenova, Alexander Melikhov, Semyon Zlotnikov, Galina Artemyeva, Valery Bochkov. It is inappropriate to call the authors of the stories presented to you beginners. After all, the first story, the first book - does not mean weak or clumsy. You will discover a world of feelings and thoughts of writers who have embarked on the literary path with the desire to express their voice, to develop the aesthetic traditions of past centuries, and to embody them in a completely new material. So you, like Emma Bovary, will encounter characters on the threshold of the 20th-21st centuries, distinguished from the heroes of the 19th century, perhaps... by a set of gadgets.
