Eldar Ryazanov has published a novel, „Andersen: Life Without Love,” based on the screenplay he wrote with Irakly Kvirikadze for his latest film. The book is filled with photos from the film and from the shooting process. It also contains an epilogue in which Ryazanov talks about his actors and the making of the film. Here, in part, is what he writes about Oksana: «Andersen's mother Anna-Maria is played by the inimitable tragic actress Oksana Mysina. […] Astonishing intuition, a true sense of the age, and veracity of emotions on screen — that all applies to Mysina. […].» The book is published by Eksmo.
