Andrey Khusnutdinov is not a beginner in the literature. His novels “Danaytsy”, “Huguenot” and “Canteen of the Hill” (the Longlist of the Russian Bouquer Prize for 2008) have already gained the deserved attention of the reader who could appreciate the skill of the mysterious transformation of reality.
The hero of the story “Delivering Height” (Longlist Belkin Prize for 2011, the magazine version) in a table conversation with the Military Pressattash recalls his long -standing service at one of the Soviet outposts during the Afghan war. With the accuracy of an eyewitness, the author describes the army everyday life, where the soldier is in wait for death at every step. The intriguing and very strict story literally explodes an unexpected finale. The stories of Andrei Khusnutdinov, in which the Kafkian reality, overcoming the blurry boundaries, bursts into the ordinary world and enchants the usual everyday life are equally brilliant prose.
