Description
Tamara Kryukova is a well-established author of contemporary prose for children and teens. In her new series “Big Novels,” she is addressing books for adult readers for the first time.
Pavel has been working toward success for a long time, but lately it’s clear that luck is finally on his side: his books are finding their readers, his relationship with his wife has grown warmer and closer, and his new novel—he’s been working on it for two years—promises to become a real bestseller… Until one accident wipes everything out.
In a café, an unfamiliar woman approaches Pavel and leaves in front of him an old folder with yellowed pages—and he recognizes lines he can recite from memory. It’s his text. His future novel already exists—word for word—only forty years earlier.
What is this: an incredible coincidence, someone’s carefully planned provocation, or a secret he himself didn’t know about? Trying to protect his name and figure out where the truth is and where self-deception begins, Pavel sets out to trace the origin of the manuscript—and sinks deeper and deeper into his own past, realizing that an unnoticed but decisive shift has long taken place in his life.
“Plagiarist is an intellectual novel with the tension of a psychological thriller and the force of a personal drama; a candid conversation about the midlife crisis and the right to start over. A book that’s hard to put down until the very last page.” — Alisa Tsygankova, editor
