The works of Vasily Aksyonov, one of the cult Russian writers, are well known not only in Russia but also abroad. For decades he remained the voice of his generation, responding with brilliant prose to the most complex and topical themes. The famous novel "Crimean Island" was written in 1977-1979, even before the author left the USSR, but was first published in the United States in 1981. Russian readers were able to get acquainted with it only in 1990, and even then they were struck by the bold plot (what if the Crimea was a full-fledged island and what if in the course of the Civil War it went to the Whites?), and Aksenov's extraordinary gift of foresight. This is one of those truly classic works that not only do not become obsolete with time, but acquire new and new meanings. This edition also includes an experimental novella-travelogue "In Search of Genre" (1972) and the story "Our Golden Iron" (1973). Rich in precise details, ironic, combining the ordinary and the sublime, confessional and playful, Aksenov's prose gives readers an enduring sense of freedom and fullness of being.
