Russian Portuguese writer Leia Lubomirskaya. Winner of the Russian 2016 award in the category "Small prose" for the collection "And since then, never parted. The stories are scary, touching and terribly touching. ” Russian in Portugal, Lyubomirskaya writes texts in which at the same time a look from the outside and a position from the inside, the position of a resident, not a traveler, not a visitor. She has the Portuguese saudade - “nostalgic melancholy and sadness and at the same time a sense of her smallness, her isolation” - it becomes both an original Russian and undoubtedly Jewish history. The roots of this prose are in the tradition of magical realism, which, on the contrary, turns out to be magical realism in Lubomirskaya: heroes do not seek a way out into another reality and do not encounter the invasion of another world in their world - they already live in another reality. And at the same time they live according to the recognizable, understandable, even ordinary laws of human life. Illustrator - Andrei Dorokhin lived in Minsk for many years, began as an alternative artist in the late 80s and having gained experience in art exhibitions in Russia, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, he came to the current theatrical and romantic illustrative style, which is characterized by its own symbolism and mythology.
