Dmitry Glukhovsky is both a writer and a journalist and we
cannot understand one without the other. As for the first one, he has written
the popular dystopian Metro series
and several other books, such as Dusk
and Future. As a journalist, he
reported the Chernobyl accident, made the first connection to the North Pole
and covered the Russian President trips abroad. Where is the connection between
both sides, then? Russa itself. Being known for being very critical to Putin’s
government, Dmitry has tackled with the stinky things of Russia in his work in a metaphorical way although,
sometimes, he has put his finger directly on the wound, like he did in his
satiric compendium of tales Stories About
Motherland.
Adria’s News
interviews Dmitry Glukhovsky in order to know which have been the most striking
experiences he has had to face as a journalist, to ask him if he has planned to
turn Metro into a movie, besides the
already existing videogame, and to request if he is able to forecast the near
future of his natal Russia.
