CultureBoris Akunin publishes memoir for his wife, ending with their plan to die together
Boris Akunin, whose real name is Grigory Chkhartishvili, has published a 105-page memoir for his wife Erika, who died in mid-August after battling cancer. Its final chapters describe the plan the couple made after Akunin was mistakenly diagnosed with terminal cancer: if one became incurably ill, the other would go along too rather than live alone in misery.
