“In Tals, Oklahoma, there was a writer who at one time was the best author of short prose in the world. His name was R. A. Lafferti ”(Neil Gaiman).
For the first time in Russian - a selection of the best stories of “The most original of our writers” (Jin Wolf), “Our North American Unrecognized Marquez” (Terry Bisson), “The most crazy, colorful and unexpected author of those living” (Theodore Starjon) , one of those “unique writers who created their own literary language from scratch” (Michael Suenwick) Separate stories of the modern classic have been translated by magazines and anthologies since the 1960s, but the book has been published for the first time. Moreover, each story is accompanied by a preface (and sometimes after the afterword) of such masters of the genre as Neil Gaiman, Samuel Dileni, Harlan Ellison, Konni Willis, John Skalzi, Jeff Vandermere and many, many others, fascinated by his “paradoxes and contradictions ... insane inventions and sharp humor ”(Michael Suenwick) Heroes of Lafferthi can put on and lose four states in eight hours, hide a whole valley in a half -meter ditch, arrange a week of horror on the main street with the help of a seven -day endor, tear off the plans of Charles the Great, ride through a galaxy in a tin can, make a philosophical concept of iron, solve a mystery The valleys of old cosmlets on the planet of Bear Bear and win the abecial days from God himself ...
“He was a genre for himself, and his stories are different from anyone else: the invigorates that started in Ireland and arrived in Talsa, Oklahoma, with transfers in heaven and distant stars” (Neil Heyman)
