The book by the poet and the author Mikhail Armalinsky - residing in the United States - includes several short stories, a fairy tale and an essay. He continues his studies in erotica and delves even deeper into a forbidden area of feelings and thought.
This immersion provides yet another reason for continuation of the "black listing"
of Armalinsky in Russia. In reference to the author, Literaturnaya
Gazeta (Issue #17, April 24, 1996, Moscow) admits to an, "... all Russia
suppression of this very intriguing writer." Due to the shocking plots and ideas
in his work, not a single publisher in Russia dares to publish his books. Armalinskys
previous publication of Alexander Pushkin's Secret Journal
1836-37,the book that became the most scandalous in the history of Russian
Literature, only compounds the reticence of publishers in Russia to present
his work.
