The book of prose by the remarkable modern Russian writer Natalia Slyusareva was compiled by the vivid documentary-memoir story “My Father is a General”, which tells the story of the author’s father, a legendary pilot, who received a diploma from the magazine “Day and Night” for the best memoir, as well as other stories, short stories and essays , awarded the prestigious literary prize - the International Mark named after David Burliuk. This is autobiographical prose about the inner life of an individual, a kind of “biography of a grateful soul”, in contact with both contemporaries and those who have already left their mark on the history of Russia. Expressive, dynamic, accurate in detail and bold in generalizations, instantly recognizable prose Natalia Slyusareva is a wonderful gift to all true connoisseurs of real literature.
