City En. Preychin L.

About Leonid Ivanovich Prebychin (1894–1936), it is difficult to tell outside the sad-prior expressions: “tragic figure”, “undeservedly convicted”, “disappeared”, “forgotten”. He is a modest statist from the Bryansk Gubstatburo, preferred that his name was not revealed in the press: “Only“ L. Preychin ”, not“ Leonid ”, as some bastards are not known on what basis they practice.” The prose writer was especially believed by Korney Chukovsky, publishing his stories and helping to get acquainted with other writers. Since the ascent, the prey in Soviet literature has been followed by a strict censure for formalism: in 1936, persecution of the first and only novel “City En” began, which insulted and offended the author. Presumably, he committed suicide immediately after a meeting on March 25 at the Leningrad House of Writers, “went to the distant lands.” “Infantilism” can be considered the main psychological installation of prey in the “En”. This is a novel of growing up, "destroying the monitor of" adult "consciousness with its discretion." The collection includes the main stories of the author, such as “Meetings with Liz”, “Dorian Gray”, “Erygin” and some others.
