Ivan Karasev

Ivan Vladimirovich Karasev (, b. February 22, 1970, Krasnodar) is a Russian writer and poet, member of the Union of Russian Writers (the assignee Union of Soviet Writers), member of the Union of Russian Journalists. His usually short stories carry the outward conventions of the magic realism genre, however those are used to construct involved, multi-layered folklore texts, fusing together elements of horror fiction.
After high school Karasev received a degree in physics of low temperatures from the Krasnodar Polytechnic Institute. In 1999 were published his books “The Circle Terrestrial” (poems) and “Whirlia” (short stories). In 2001 in Krasnodar he held the I Scientific-practical conference of pupils "First steps in science" with the NGO “Heritage Kirlian”. Now he works in a Russian government daily newspaper “Rossiyskaya gazeta”.
Karsev is the creator of the Arahau constructed language. Arahau is typologically polysynthetic and active. It has turned out to have similarities with Basque and Nakh-Dagestanian languages. Karasev's other linguistic project (Sunilinus) is based on palindromes.
