The librarian
Elizarov, Mikhail2014
Book
As the introduction will tell you, the books by Gromov, obscure propaganda author of the Soviet era, have such an effect on their readers that they suddenly enjoy supernatural powers. Understandably, their readers need to keep accessing these books at all costs and gather into groups around book-bearers, or, as they're called, 'librarians'. Alexei, until now a loser, comes to collect an uncle's inheritance and unexpectedly becomes a 'librarian'. He tells his extraordinary, unbelievable story.
