“We believe it is essential to highlight the distinction between the inner and outer human when briefly presenting Avalon Brantley’s essays on unusual, heretical, and generally overlooked figures in Russian literature.

These three creators are quite distant from the typical encyclopedias of Russian literature, and Avalon deliberately seeks out this eccentric position.”
