Dmitry Bykov about the author:
"Nina Kosman is equally organic in all genres of short fiction: a diary entry, a mystical novella, a letter, an autobiographical note, a psychological etude. She has good taste, a sober view of herself and people, an innate gift for holding the reader's attention."
"Justification of the Monkey" is a collection of stories and parables by Nina Kosman, a bilingual author of six books of poetry and prose; an artist, compiler of the anthology "Gods and Mortals" (Oxford University Press), and translator of Tsvetaeva's poems into English. Her paintings have been exhibited in Canada and America. Kosman's first collection of Russian poems was published by Khudozhestvennaya Literatura in 1990. Stories and poems in English have been published in American, Canadian and English magazines and have been translated into French, Spanish, Dutch, Persian, Greek, Italian, Hebrew, Japanese, Chinese, Albanian and Danish.
