Introducing Yuri Nekrosov

.





Yuri Nekrosov is a young writer of fantastika (in Russia, they do not distinguish between science fiction and fantasy) whom I asked to explain himself and his first novel in only two minutes.  He did a splendid job.

And his first novel is about garbage elves!  Everybody I've shown his book to has desperately wanted to read it.

Partially, of course, this is due to some really wonderfully gonzo illustrations by Meethos.  But, let's face it -- garbage elves?  Great idea.

I'm not sure whether Meethos is an individual or a studio.  But down below is pretty much typical illo which includes a website.

"in Russia, they do not distinguish between science fiction and fantasy"

Why, Michael? We definitely have such a distincion. But we use this integrative word "fantastika" when opposing both of them to other literery genres. Romance or detective stories, for example.
