The end of the world, my love. Stories. 3rd edition. Gorbunova A.

Never for two thousandth years have been described with such reliability as in Alla Gorbunova’s book. Children, students, beggars, young poets-her heroes and heroines-live intensively, balancing between longing and euphoria, holiness and fall, starting from the fire of family insanity in the adherent of the risky non-form life of St. Petersburg. But the stories of Gorbunova are far from domestic: she looks at a fragile and dangerous reality with uncompromising tenderness, distinguishing in her experience that is able to transform her heroes.

Alla Gorbunova - a poet, prose writer, critic, laureate of the Debut Award (2005) and the Awards of Andrei Bely (2019).
