Dear Julia, thank you so much for your book. The setting is so appealing, it made me want to explore distant corners of my own country. I spent some time reading on Kamchatka's history, finding pictures, watching youtube videos of how the streets of Petropavlovsk, Palana and Esso look like. I don't have a question so I just put a question mark as it's a requirement to post a question. :) ?

How did you convey the RFE’s alienation and otherworldliness? (I’ve been to Kamchatka twice, as well as Primorye.) The book does a powerful job exploring conflicts: police and civilians, ethnic Russians and native populations, educated people and commoners. Amid the mystery and overlapping plots is deep exploration of the struggle of eking out a marginal life in the distant outskirts of post-Soviet Russia.
