Description

Yuri Kozlov is a well-known Russian writer, winner of many literary awards, author of a whole series of acclaimed works. The collection of novellas by Yuri Kozlov written in recent years is an attempt to make sense of the life of people who have absorbed the realities of new Russia. "White Water" offers a sharp look at Russian power from the depths of its "clockwork”—where love for the homeland and its simultaneous betrayal are like communicating vessels. A government official, a writer beginning a journalist, an old dissident "of the Soviet variety," a young adventuress with esoteric abilities—all of them seek an exit from what seems to be a hopeless circle of problems that has "ringed" modern Russia. But there is a way out! The key to it lies in Yuri Kozlov’s reliable, deep, and surprisingly insightful prose.
