"Andrei Filimonov — prose writer, poet, journalist, author of the novel “Recipes for the Creation of the World” and the collection of stories “I Step onto the Road”, finalist of the awards “Big Book”, “National Bestseller” and “NOS”.
The new book... “Dance Nowhere” — a magical journey novel, where any point on the map becomes a reason for an exciting story, and any attempt by the author to write a text turns into an adventure.
