About the book: 2016 / Having been awarded the Russian National Poet Prize in 2015, Yuliy Kim remembered prose - and prepared another book for the Vremya publishing house his own series. Four previous volumes - “My Mother Russia” (2003), “Once Upon a Time Mikhailov” (2004), “Poems and Songs” (2007), “Light, Blue, Diverse” (2013) - presented him as an ironic bard, lyric poet, screenwriter, playwright... And now fiction, mixed, as is always the case with Kim, with memories of places dear to his heart and close people. He now has three native places (“this is how my stars were built”) - Moscow, Kamchatka, Israel. And there are countless close people. This book contains only a small circle of them, so we will wait for the next one.
