The book “A Writer’s Day” by Yuri Kuvaldin consists of the following stories: “A Writer’s Day”, “The Runaways”, “A Proofreader’s Notes”, “Autumn in New York”, “Don’t Say It Hurts Your Heart”, “A Play for a Lost Studio” , "Early Twilight". Yuri Kuvaldin entered Russian literature confidently and simply, without noise, without pretension, without challenge, and settled into it so naturally and organically, as if he had always been its integral part, as if he had occupied the niche that was supposed to him, calmly awaiting him. He published one book, then another, and it turned out that, in fact, you can’t imagine our literature without Kuvaldin, you can’t remove him from literature without impoverishing the latter, without depriving it of that voice, that intonation, that special concentration of thought and spiritual energy , which were not yet in it.
