That event prompted the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal to write “The world hardly needs another reminder of the true nature of Vladimir Putin’s Russian state.” the author on encrypted communication services having called out the Kremlin’s “special military operation” as a euphemism for Putin’s land-grab in a 2018 pre-Frankfurt interview with Publishing Perspectives he described the “wonderful times” of the current post-Soviet era for writers willing to see “an epoch of not only post-truth but also post-ethic.” “These are really the times,” he said “when all a writer needs to do is sit down and focus carefully on the dubious reality unfolding around him What’s the point of writing a dystopian fiction nowadays,” he asks “when the reality is exceeding your wildest fantasies?” В последний момент Дума передумала повышать нижний предел призывного возраста до 21 года — Дмитрий Глуховский (@glukhovsky) July 21, 2023 Having worked in film, video-game, and television development Glukhovsky has particularly broad potency as a storyteller and since the release of his debut trilogy Metro 2033 he has cultivated a loyal international following propelling his writings into broad international translation and publishing deals Kopetsky describes his latest two-volume “Outpost” series as being set “in a Russia isolated from the West and ruled by a new czar from Moscow.” In the books “a disease in Russia turns people into man-eating zombies after they hear a special combination of words a ‘somewhat pandemic neurolingual infection.'” Outpost: Der Posten (The Post, October 2021) and Outpost: Der Aufbruch (The Departure May 2023) are published in Germany by Penguin Random House Verlagsgruppe / Heyne The “Outpost” books were written prior to the COVID-19 outbreaks and Putin’s most recent Ukrainian savagery. His 2021 Geschicten aus der Heimat (Tales from the Motherland has been particularly well received in Germany (again from PRH Verlagsgruppe / Heyne) leading to a series of influential television appearances on Markus Lanz The two “Outpost” books and Tales From the Motherland have turned out to helping readers outside Russia understand the mafia-like framework of Putin’s government today who speaks to us from her offices in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm “The prison sentence did not come as a surprise to him He will not stop speaking out and publishing op-eds and his dystopian novels have predicted this situation uncannily.” And Claudia Roth on Tuesday (August 8) tweeted from the ministry about the news of Glukhovsky’s verdict-in-absentia writing “The verdict against Glukhovsky is an expression of a policy that only knows violence “Judgments like these are a capitulation to freedom of speech “I’m glad he’s safe from Russian arbitrary justice.” Staatsministerin Claudia Roth: „Das Urteil gegen Glukhovsky ist Ausdruck einer Politik, die nur noch das Mittel der Gewalt kennt. Urteile wie diese sind eine Kapitulation vor der Freiheit des Wortes. Ich bin froh, dass er vor dem Zugriff der russischen Willkürjustiz sicher ist.“ https://t.co/m8sBU8bj5K — BKM Kultur & Medien (@BundesKultur) August 8, 2023 Porter Anderson has been named International Trade Press Journalist of the Year in London Book Fair's International Excellence Awards He is Editor-in-Chief of Publishing Perspectives He formerly was Associate Editor for The FutureBook at London's The Bookseller Anderson was for more than a decade a senior producer and anchor with CNN.com which now is owned and operated by Jane Friedman
