Большая книга перемен

by Alexey Slapovsky, Алексей Слаповский

Алексей Слаповский - прозаик, драматург, сценарист; пожалуй, один из самых непредсказуемых современных писателей. Среди его книг и поэма бунта ("Поход на Кремль"), и веселый роман положений ("День денег"), и сказка новейшего времени ("Синдром Феникса"), и даже правдивые воспоминания о нас из будущего ("Победительница"). Новый роман "Большая книга перемен" автор считает своим лучшим, но последнее слово оставляет за читателем.

About the author

Aleksey Slapovsky is a vital member of the new and brilliant group of Russian post-modern writers with approximately over 100 publications in periodic literary magazines, 15 book titles published and reprinted in Russia and 10 books translated into other languages. Aleksey Slapovsky made his name with the novel “It’s Not Me” (Russian: Я - не я) which was short-listed for the prestigious national Booker Prize.

Slapovsky is a nominee and winner of many prestigious awards and prizes. His novels are all comedy and drama in one, easily apperceived by a reader of any origin and age. Raising philosophical questions and serious issues the author always uses breathtaking narrative structure that keeps a reader constantly interested and curious; clearness and simplicity of the story telling language understandable by any target group and always - a tricking twist. His humour does not have language borders and his deepness – a bottom.

Reviews

[Lisa Hayden Espenschade · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is just plain boring: what could (and should) have been an sharp, relevant social novel about life in contemporary Russia is so overloaded with back story and extraneous details that the book has no narrative momentum or shape. I read more than 200 of about 600 pages and gave up from lack of interest.
