My suburb and the two next to it are the part of the Twin Cities where the Russians have moved. In addition to our Russian grocery, we have the Russian grocery we used to go to, the Russian grocery we might go to if we had to, and the Russian grocery we would never go to under any circumstances, all within five minutes of my house. And nobody in my house is Russian.
I am therefore fascinated to go to the library's online website and find that English speakers in our area are welcome to one or two Boris Akunin books, but that they have bought a dozen of them in Russian. I mean, it makes sense that there would be authors like that. I just can't predict who they will be.
