I met firstly with the books of Valentin Rasputin by the end of the 1970's. They made an extraordinary impression on me. It was my first contact with the Siberian writers, the village prose movement. I remained through the years an admirer of Rasputin's works. His heroes are Siberian peasants, facing complex ethical and spiritual challenges.
