Alexander Etoev is the author of more than fifteen books across various genres and genres, and the winner of several literary awards (The Wanderer, The Golden Ostap, the Gogol Prize, the Marshak Prize, the ABS Prize, and others). Etoev's novel "I Will Always Be with You" was shortlisted for the National Bestseller Award (2019). His short story "Akuaka" was adapted into a short film of the same name, which won first place in the Acting category at the 2017 International Short Film Competition.
Alexander Etoev's book of selected works primarily consists of works closely connected to the city where the author was born and has lived for over half a century. In the stories "Flight into Egypt," "The Left Foot Rule," "Waterproof Gunpowder," the novel "The Man from the Spider's Web," and in his short stories, the city is practically a central character in all of them, influencing the characters' fates no less than the St. Petersburg weather. The writer's final novel, "The Flying Martian Ship," also adheres to the St. Petersburg theme. Lunin, the novel's hero, is forcibly transported to Mars, to the world of the dead, from none other than St. Petersburg's Kolomna, where a nose once wandered the streets, having escaped its owner, and where the hero of "The Bronze Horseman" hurled a decisive "Oh, you!" into the face of a statue. And an old Leningrad tram "climbed the Egyptian Bridge, hesitated a bit, and then sank behind the pyramid-shaped buildings" ("Flight into Egypt").
