Being an Other

I was talking with my friend and Team Cthulhu member Craig about the Night Watch series of books by Sergei Lukyanenko. I know people have some mixed feelings about the books, but I love, love, love them. Some of it I am sure comes from 4 years of Russian in high school and a year in college but I just dig the russian outlook in literature. Sure it is a bit more grim than american fiction, and a bit more visceral.

Accept it for what it is. It isn’t Buffy, although some of the tropes are the same, it has it’s own spirit and I love it for it. The books have a spirit uniquely their own and it is all Moscovian and on a larger scale Russian. It is a very cool voice in fiction. I’d really like to see more genre russian works, we need to mix it up a bit more.
