About the Author:
Peter Aleshkovsky, born in 1957, has four books to his name.
Review:
"Aleshovsky's is an important voice...in contemporary Russian fiction. He makes use of Gogolean satire, the folk tale, the chronicle, and even the saint's life. Throughout the novel he steers a steady course between sentimentality and cynicism, and maintains a creative tension between custom and circumstance, typicality and eccentricity." --Times Literary Supplement


"Aleshovsky has a vivid style and a fresh vision of his homeland, which still has the ring of the country which Leskov and Dostoevsky explored so unforgettably. This is the real thing: real literature about real people in Russia as it really is." --Martin Dewhirst, University of Glasgow


"Peter Aleshovsky is a highly talented Russian writer, with a powerful sense of the disorders and conflicts of his society and a desire to penetrate it to its roots. Aleshovsky has a gift of myth and symbol, a deep sense of place and culture and their meaning. Here is a very strong and exciting voice in the lively world of contemporary Russian fiction." --Malcolm Bradbury
