Mikhail Shishkin es un escritor ruso cuya prosa es aclamada por su brillantez estilística única. Su lenguaje, descrito como 'maravillosamente lúcido y conciso', se remonta a la tradición de Pushkin mientras explora sin miedo temas universales como la muerte, la resurrección y el amor. Las narrativas de Shishkin a menudo profundizan en experiencias humanas universales, inspirándose en su admiración por gigantes como Tolstói, Chéjov y Bunin, quienes le inculcaron la intransigencia artística, la humanidad y el coraje de ser ingenuo. Sus obras, aunque influenciadas por los clásicos, resuenan con una voz fresca y original.
