Grandmother
My grandmother is ninety-seven years old.
Whenever I visited her, we would sit together in her kitchen and talk over tea. She always baked pies and traditional Vepsian kalitki for my arrival. For years, our conversations stayed firmly in the present. We spoke about everyday life, family news, and whatever happened to be on our minds.
Then one day, after we had been sitting there longer than usual an

| In his short story “Valya,” written in 1899, Leonid Andreyev confronts a young boy with a moral test for which he is wholly unprepared. He understands nothing of family ties, adult grievances, or the laws by which some people gain the right to determ ...more | |
"Мне нравится, что автор почти никогда ничего не объясняет за героев и не старается поставить в конце точку. Многое здесь держится на деталях, паузах и последних фразах, после которых история ещё некоторое время продолжается уже в голове читателя. Пор"

"Berkut is writing in a gentle, engaging, and very human way. I expected this book to be a simple travelogue, but it was so much more. His reflections on life under lockdown were realistic and somber, while the section on the Caretos festival was a wh"

"Тексты Дмитрия Беркута напоминают мне фонарик, который высвечивает из окружающей нас тьмы неожиданные картинки: иногда пугающие, иногда милые, иногда заставляющие задуматься.
Я не очень люблю реальность, но как раз такие книги помогают с ней отчасти " Read more of this review » |

| Kirill Ryabov’s The Dog is a kind of Russian post-noir: a hot, grimy, hopeless St. Petersburg, a man whose life steadily takes everything away from him, and black humour as the last thing keeping him from losing his mind. Ryabov writes with brutal en ...more | |

| I'd been thinking about it for a long time and finally decided to set up a small publishing house. And now, somewhere in the middle of that process, when the decision has already been made but the publishing house itself still exists mostly as filled ...more | |

One of the things that fascinates me most about Flannery O’Connor is the way she dismantles not people, but the stories they tell themselves about who they are. In The Enduring Chill, Asbury returns from New York to his mother’s farm convinced that he ...more |

“Our homeland in the language we spoke, thought, and wrote in, not the place where we were born. We live in the space of our language, and to expand it, it's not enough to just leave; we need to start thinking in other languages.”
― Clochard

“We are all connected by the finest of threads. We create worlds for each other through our existence. When someone close to you dies, it immediately affects everything around you; and everyone’s lives, whether they feel it or not, are changed forever.”
― Clochard

“Long ago, we had both realized that the only constructive conversation possible between us was sex. Neither of us could hear normal words. We each spoke our minds and listened only to ourselves. Only during sex did we share sensations and truly be present together. How long could that last? Probably forever. Would we have been happy for eternity? Why not? Sex wasn’t about interests or cultural differences; it was self-sufficient.”

“Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really...How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”

“My message to you is this: pretend that you have free will. It's essential that you behave as if your decisions matter, even though you know they don't. The reality isn't important: what's important is your belief, and believing the lie is the only way to avoid a waking coma. Civilization now depends on self-deception. Perhaps it always has.”
