Mikhail Elizarov is the author of the novels "The Librarian" (Russian Booker Prize), "Pasternak" and "Cartoons" (shortlisted for the National Bestseller Prize), short story collections "Nails" (shortlisted for the Andrei Bely Prize), "We Went Out for a Smoke for 17 Years" (the prize of the readers' vote of the NOS Prize).
Mikhail Elizarov's new novel "Earth" is the first large-scale comprehension of "Russian thanatos".
"There is no funeral slang as such. There is vulgar prosector's jargon. There, the admitted motorcyclist is mockingly called "cosmonaut", the one who fell from a height - "paratrooper", "acrobat" or "Icarus", the drowned man - "diver", "ichthyander", "mumu", the one who died in a traffic accident - "skittles". Perhaps in some cemetery, a grave plaque will be called a "shovel", a wreath a "bush", and a digger a "mole". This novel is the story of Mole" (Mikhail Elizarov).
