The genre of the city novel with the devilry has long and firmly took a place in the minds and hearts of readers. From the "Master and Margarita" to "Altist Danilov" - the intervention of the devilish forces in the life and life of mankind traditionally occurs in Moscow. True, in the debut novel by Kirill Lyapunov, the infernal does not have human embodiment, but lurks in the most ordinary and familiar things.
"Conversations in the kitchen have long been loved in Russia. Here, in home warmth and comfort, they are divided into secret, philosophical concepts are faced here and disputes about the fate of the world behind a cup of strong tea, or even a glass of something stronger. And although the scene of most of the novel is not a kitchen, but a psychotherapist’s office, a feeling of home comfort remains quite tangible. Comfortable chairs, a caressing look of the Staromoskovsky landscape outside the windows, fragrant tea in cups, brewed to the taste of the interlocutor - from the very beginning the author does not spare details for describing the scene of the future action, which is more suitable for communication.
But heart communication does not work. And although for the protagonist, experienced psychologist Arkady Kuznetsov, this does not become a surprise, the impossibility of true, human contact with the interlocutors oppresses him. One by one, customers pass before him - a series of typical people of the modern era with their completely ordinary problems, who, under the attentive look of a professional, over and over again, turn out to be some kind of fake, as if imaginary values in the mathematics textbook. From the Model -Millennial, seriously afraid for the fragility of his personality in a clash with the need to earn a living, to an elderly drug addict, whose joys of life dosedly measured by his imperious mother - they all do not seem to people, but by simulacu, wax figures from the museum of Madame Tussais. And even when the main character manages to excavate the artificial, as well, their true, weak and helpless “I ", it seems that they are more scared than rejoice in this, trying to quickly forget about him. And we involuntarily think with the hero: what is happening? Why did these people become like that? And can even the most professional psychologist help them? " - Ekaterina Militskaya, literary observer "Izvestia"
"I love books that have history, languages and thoughts, even if not with all of them I agree. In this novel, all three elements are at the proper level. " - Alexander Tsypkin, writer, screenwriter
