So I think he is an author from the region, even though he wasn't born there.

Over to you to decide on that one, sun surfer...
Given the murkiness of the author's region, the votes can decide.

Personally I think it sounds quite interesting but seeing as it seems to be a Russian expat writing about Russia I feel compelled not to support it for this region unfortunately, though if it wins I'll happily read it.
