Yegor Radov is a unique person, he is the only one in the country who has achieved success in the field of postmodern and psychedelic prose. Why did he choose this path for himself? Did kinship help him become famous?
From birth, he was to become a poet
Egor Radov was born on February 28, 1962 in the city of Moscow. From birth, he was noticeably different from his peers: he was always soft, calm and delicate. While other boys were running through the puddles, playing war games and firing a slingshot, he looked out the window, dreaming of something great and beautiful.
From childhood, he was attached to his love of books, first examined pictures, then read famous novels and works by Russian authors. In school years, he was already fond of foreign poetry. This hobby was passed on from parents: the teenager grew up in the family of the modern publicist Radov and the great poetess Kazakova.
The first successes in the literary field
From the age of three, Yegor Radov was an absolutely independent boy. Parents dreamed that their son would live well and spend most of his time on the robot. A boy at such an early age could already warm up his breakfast, make a bed and change clothes. Parents were not afraid to leave the child at home, knowing that they were growing a very responsible and calm man. The boy retained his independence at that moment when he created his first humorous story and published it in several modern magazines without parental help. At that time, the young writer was barely 15 years old.
At 17, Radov graduated with honors from school, and he faced the choice of a future profession. The young man presented his stories to the selection committee of the Gorky Literary Institute and a few weeks later was enrolled in the faculty of modern poetry. In 1985, he got a job as an essayist. His articles have been published repeatedly in the journal New World, In the World of Books, and Gilea. However, all this activity did not bring the poet spiritual pleasure.
The most popular works
At the age of 30, a turning point in the life of a modern writer takes place. He begins to realize that he is wasting his time and is not fully engaged in what he does well. A few years later from this moment, the country finally finds out who Yegor Radov is. The writer's books are beginning to gain popularity among readers.
In 1992, his very first serious work was released - "Snakefish". The author thought for a long time about what his first story would be, and settled on the most complicated genre - humorous fiction. Thanks to him, the whole world managed to find out who Yegor Radov is. "Zmeesos" was released in several languages, it was sold in Russia, England, Finland, Germany and France.
The author receives his first fee, this money is enough for him to move to Candolim. There, Yegor Radov is gaining great literary experience from his senior mentors and begins to work in the field of postmodern and then psychedelic literature. A few years later, new works appeared in his collection: “Art is a buzz”, “The Clone Diary”, “The Essence” and “Tales of Everything”
First defeat in personal life
In the early 80s, the female half of humanity loved stylish, smart and romantic guys. That was exactly Yegor Radov. The writer wrote verses for charming ladies, sang songs under the windows and perfectly told the humorous stories of his own composition. In addition, he was always gallant and charming.
In 1981, he met his first love on his way. The companion of his life was Anna Gerasimova - at that time a famous poetess, translator and rock musician. The couple was so captivated by the feelings that they quickly decided to get married, despite the fact that most of the relatives were against this love affair.
The marriage lasted about five years and fell apart immediately after Radov returned from the army. The young writer several times tried to build a new relationship, but everywhere he was disappointed. More than ever, the author never sought to become a family man, devoting himself to poetry.
