Auto-translated
A strange city where it ALWAYS rains. Only children like the rain, and only at a certain age. There are NO children OLDER than that age in the city. They simply disappear. There are also some sick people in the city (rumor calls them "wet ones") with whom these children communicate. The main character, a writer, is "exiled to his homeland" by the President... he tries to UNDERSTAND what is happening in the city... It's a great story... I forgot the title... Damn.
Yes... it's by the Strugatsky brothers - it was previously published separately as the novella "The Hideous Swans," and now it's part of the novel "The Limping Fate"... it's a funny story :rolleyes:
