Il protagonista di "Outland rock" (racconto che dà il nome alla raccolta), innaffiando le piante sul balcone, trova un oggetto che sembra caduto dal cielo ed è infatti la scatola nera di un satellite spia, che sono in tanti a voler recuperare.

Maxim Osipov, who lives and practices medicine in a town 90 miles outside Moscow, is one of Russia’s best contemporary writers. In the tradition of Anton Chekhov and William Carlos Williams, he draws on his experiences in medicine to write stories of great subtlety and striking insight. Osipov’s fiction presents a nuanced, collage-like portrait of life in provincial Russia - its tragedies, frustrations, and moments of humble beauty and inspiration. The 12 stories in this volume depict doctors, actors, screenwriters, teachers, entrepreneurs, political bosses, and common criminals.
