"On New York Time." The time of the novel--the end of the nineties, when America was experiencing an unprecedented political and economic growth. The story is based on real events, such a collapse on the New York Stock Exchange and the sensational trial over the Russian top-ranking criminal Slava Japonchik. The author managed to combine genres of realism and mysticism, dry journalism and poetry of love... The book also includes the novella "The Byzantine Courtyard". This story was written shortly before the tragic revolution in Kiev in 2013-14. The stories of Peter Nemirovsky are written in such a manner that the reader has a feeling that he is in a cinema where he watches cool American movies.
