Vladimir Rabinovich's short stories (more precisely, "posts" - the book repeats the Facebook feed with all its attributes in its structure and design) owe their form to the new digital reality - social networks. From there, brevity and aphorism, a variety of plots, while maintaining a constant lyrical hero. This hero changes cities and countries (Soviet Belarus and the USA), goes through various, sometimes violent, life collisions. In the truest sense of the word, he cannot escape either the purse or the prison. Rabinovich writes "harshly", the circumstances of the stories are sometimes tragic, but the author's love for his characters and hope for happiness and peace - after all the troubles, mistakes and despite everyday absurdity - does not allow these texts to be attributed to "black" literature.The author of the book, Vladimir Rabinovich, calls himself a Belarusian writer who writes in Russian in America. Born and raised in Minsk, he emigrated to the United States in 1987, and before that he studied at the institute, served in the army, worked as a loader, a stage installer in a theater, and an ambulance orderly. He was in prison and "on chemistry" (convicted in 1980 - prohibited fishing). He became a taxi driver in New York. I've been writing since I was a child, but I only started publishing when I started a Facebook account.
