The first book after the author’s long silence—novelist «White on Black» (Booker Prize).
In his new, third novel, the author tries to solve a problem: is it possible for a person who has known pain and humiliation and endured harsh, cruel trials to find on earth a place that will finally bring him peace and calm?
Ruben David Gonzales Gallego is a Russian writer, the grandson of the general secretary of the Communist Party of the peoples of Spain, and a graduate of a Soviet boarding school for children with disabilities. His documentary novel-confession «White on Black» (the “Russian Booker” Prize for 2003), translated into dozens of languages, caused a sensation among the reading public—ripples from which are still spreading today.
