The City of "Ё"
Publishing house: NLO
The book includes texts written in different genres — a travel diary, when records are kept daily, and essays written after coming home, that is, from memory. The geography of the collection is also diverse: from the Himalayas and Cambodia to Iran and Russian provincial towns (Taman, Barnaul, Ulyanovsk, Kemerovo). All these cities and countries are united by the author's view, directed more inward than outward. He turns comprehension of the "genius of the place" into an act of self-knowledge. We study the other in order to comprehend ourselves, the author believes.

West To East
Publishing house: Eksmo
Shulpyakov’s book of essays invites to give another thought to the age-old conflict: Where does the West end and the East begin? Is Russia an Asian country, even halfway? Russia serves as the point of attraction and the author’s self-reflection. Ensuring the book’s thematic diversity, the author covers the perennial topics of history, culture, and literature, all considered in a global context; whereas the semantic depth is achieved by more private motifs. The West toward the East looks like a philological experiment: the author is trying to come to terms with his cultural inheritance, resolve the conflict between the tradition and fluidity, and discover a fitting place for himself and his country in a global context.

The Dante Museum
Publishing house: Eksmo
What does a poet living in the terrible 30s of the last century have in common with our contemporary, who is trying to capture a disappearing country in the space of modern times? The Dante Museum does not just show parallels in time, but asks the "damned questions" that troubled the heroes of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. Born in the early seventies in the USSR, the hero of the novel tries to find himself in the turbulent 90s, selling old books. One day he finds the diary of an unknown translator Dante and discovers the world of a stranger whose life is unexpectedly intertwined with his own, arranging almost mystical parallels in fate and thoughts.
