Description
Vladislav Otroshchenko is a prose writer, the author of “Gogolianna,” “The Drama of a Snowy Night: a novel-investigation into the fate and the criminal case of Sukhovо-Kobylin,” “It’s Not Enough to Kill a Genius,” and the novel “A Person Outside Credibility.” Winner of the Yasnaya Polyana Prize and the Italian literary award Grinzane Cavour. This edition includes the novel “An Appendix to a Photo Album”—a phantasmagorical family chronicle with illustrations by Dmitry Krymov, as well as novellas in stories, “The Great-Grandfather Grisha’s Courtyard” and “Novocherkassk.”
“Big House—an archetype of a fantastic Russia, unchanged since the time of Gogol—becomes the backdrop of ‘An Appendix to a Photo Album.’ Possessing a letter that is both magical and utterly real, enchanting with images often slipping away from human logic, and propelled by a cascade of digressions, Otroshchenko unfolds the epic of the ‘line of the bearded-born.’” Nadia Capriolо, critic, Italy.
“A happy delusion, a mad saga, phrases in which one can hear rhythm and heat: that’s how the small novel by Vladislav Otroshchenko about the incredible adventures of the Cossack Malakh, his wife Anнуshka, and their thirteen sons—like characters out of Tim Burton’s films—races along at full gallop.” Katrin Simon, columnist for the newspaper Le Monde, France.
