Куклу зовут Рейзл

Vladimir Matlin has many faces, just like his prose. A lawyer who traveled through many Soviet camps, a screenwriter for Tsentrnauchfilm, a loader, but already in the United States, and, finally, the host of Voice of America for more than 20 years. His stories were first published in America, and in recent years were published in Russia. This is a fascinating mosaic of plots, characters, places: Moscow in the 50s, modern Venice, Brooklyn a hundred years ago. A Polish emigrant, a New York gigolo, a Jewish student... Laconic language, solid and recognizable images, irony and slight sadness - Vladimir Matlin does not teach or philosophize. He tells. About life - what it was and is. Simple - about the complex. The collection includes short stories and novellas written in the last four years and not included in the previously published five collections.
