Konstantin Zarubin (b. 1979) — prose writer, publicist. Grew up in the town of Slantsy, Leningrad region. Studied languages, linguistics, philosophy. Teaches English at Dalarna University (Sweden). Lives in Uppsala. A scholar from St. Petersburg was found dead in Helsinki....
While sorting through his books, an assistant to local antiquarians discovers materials from a strange investigation. Someone has been searching long and hard for a mysterious collection of science fiction that appeared here and there throughout the USSR in the eighties. This book has been read by very different people in different languages, and their lives changed in amazing, sometimes fateful, ways. And it seems the time of inexplicable events is not over yet. The authors of the collection "Short Stories by L-Writers" are still among us. "Konstantin Zarubin's novel resurrects the belief that books can be magical. And it also speaks of how post-Soviet nostalgia can be ruthlessly honest. Without self-deception about the lost paradise. And this book is also about the future. It gives faint hope to those who have despaired in the search for the meaning of life on Earth." Yulia Gumen
