Vladimir Orlov’s new novel “Kamerger’s Lane” is a generous find for those who value impeccable literary style and a cleverly constructed plot. It is a story about different people who are united by a single thing: each of them, in one way or another, is connected to a semi-mythical, old-Moscow-style democratic eatery in the heart of the city—on Kamerger’s Lane. Here a detective mystery and a love story intertwine, alongside fast-paced adventures and philosophical reflections, as well as vignettes of contemporary Moscow manners, presented by the author with biting, sarcastic irony.
