'One day I found out that my little native town used to be called not Znamensk but Wehlau. Germans had lived here. This had been East Prussia. Then they were deported. A ten-twenty-thirty-year layer of Russian life trembled on a seven-hundred-year foundation about which I knew nothing. So the child began to invent.'The resettling of the Kaliningrad Region (former East Prussia) with Soviet citizens occurred a few years before Yuri Buida's birth in 1954. 'Not a single person was left who could say of East Prussian space and time: "That's me"'. Buida's motley characters - war wounded, bereaved wives, madmen, fearless adolescents and a resurrected minister of state - inhabit a dislocated reality, a dream-like world of double identities and miraculous occurrences. Buida's skill at merging playful fantasy with bitter experience gives to his writing a haunting vividness and intensity.The Prussian Bride is a treasure house of myth and narrative exuberance, with stories that swing between outrageous invention and often tragic reality. It is one of the most exciting discoveries of post-Soviet literature and a worthy winner of a prestigious Apollon Grigoriev award in Russia: it was also shortlisted for the Russian Booker Prize.… (más)

An enormous white bull with gold horns was approaching the square from the direction of the river, and on it was mounted the most beautiful woman in the world. Strutting alongside the bull was a red lion, which the woman was leading on a leash.
Thus did the Goddess enter the little town

From 'Theme of the bull, theme of the lion'.
'This country is so vast that neither words nor thoughts have any meaning in it. Nor its history, either.'
My name might not mean much to someone from Warsaw, but in the north and north-east of Poland most people were settlers from the western lands of Belorussia and Ukraine, and knew full well that 'Buida' means 'lie, fantasy, fairy tale' and at the same time 'story-teller, liar, dreamer'.
