Biography

Vlad Sovenko (also known under pen name W. S. Owen) is a modern Ukrainian writer who experiments with presenting the plot to the imagination more visually. One of his main features is minimalism. His plots are always dynamic. The author tries to avoid pauses in the movement of the story, and therefore something happens in each paragraph.

His first book "Richard Wants Me Dead" is very similar in style to Chuck Palahniuk. And the dialogues and the ending of the book are generally reminiscent of Quentin Tarantino movies.

But in the book "Amber" the writer's talent is most revealed in how to convey visual images through the text. It is very cool to read considering that the plot of the book tells you about telepaths and their problems in ordinary society and how they look at this world. By the end of the book "Amber" the illusion is created that you are not reading the text, but seeing everything with your own eyes, as if you were a telepath yourself.

Vlad Sovenko never expresses his opinion about this or that situation in the book. He wants readers to make their own choices.
