Один из знаменитых людей нашего времени высокомерно ляпнул, что мы живем в эпоху "цивилизованной коррупции". Слаповский в своей повести "У нас убивают по вторникам" догадался об этом раньше - о том, что в нашей родной стране воруют, сажают и убивают не как попало, а организованно, упорядоченно, в порядке очереди. Цивилизованно. Но где смерть, там и любовь; об этом - истории, в которых автор рискнул высказаться от лица женщины.
Aleksey Slapovsky is a vital member of the new and brilliant group of Russian post-modern writers with approximately over 100 publications in periodic literary magazines, 15 book titles published and reprinted in Russia and 10 books translated into other languages. Aleksey Slapovsky made his name with the novel “It’s Not Me” (Russian: Я - не я) which was short-listed for the prestigious national Booker Prize.
Slapovsky is a nominee and winner of many prestigious awards and prizes. His novels are all comedy and drama in one, easily apperceived by a reader of any origin and age. Raising philosophical questions and serious issues the author always uses breathtaking narrative structure that keeps a reader constantly interested and curious; clearness and simplicity of the story telling language understandable by any target group and always - a tricking twist. His humour does not have language borders and his deepness – a bottom.
