Yaroslav Barsukov

After leaving his ball and chain at the workplace, Yaroslav goes on to write stories that deal with things he himself, thankfully, doesn’t have to deal with. He’s a software engineer and a connoisseur of strong alcoholic beverages—but also, surprisingly, a member of SFWA and Codex. At some point in his life, he’s left one former empire only to settle in another; now he speaks Russian in the morning, German by day, and English by night.

What narratives and structures do these international writing communities use? What do their publishing landscapes look like, and what relationships do they have with the Anglophone world? How do writers from “the rest of the world” negotiate their careers between their local literary landscapes and the dominance of Anglocentric publishing?
