The Nineties

Roman Senchin (b. 1971) — a prose writer, winner of the "Big Book" and "Yasnaya Polyana" awards. Author of the novels "Yeltyshevy", "Flooded Zone", "Rain in Paris". "The Nineties" continues the series of prose collections by Roman Senchin ("The Noughties", "The Tens"), where in ten texts written "there and then", a whole decade is reflected. "The nineties, about which these stories are written, are the transitional age of the country and the generation. Our voices and bones were breaking. We woke up in one country, fell asleep in another, and the next morning woke up still in a third. They tossed us around quite a bit. Made us who we are. We are Mowgli, raised not by the kind cartoon bear Baloo, but by real fierce wolves. We are the remnants of an eschatological shipwreck. This shipwreck is shown by Roman Senchin in a widescreen mode in his new collection." Andrey Podshibyakhin
