Mikhail Gigolashvili-author of the novels “Tolmach”, “Damn wheel” (short list and prize of the reader voting of the Big Book Prize), “Muscovy capture” (short-list of the “Nos” award), “Secret Year” (“Russian Prize” (“Russian Prize )
In the new novel “Coca”, a recognizable young hero from the “Damn Wheel” continues its psychedelic epic. Amsterdam, Paris, Russia and - of course - Tbilisi. Everywhere there is a temptatory freedom ... But from what? Social and criminal bottom, delicate nostalgia, insurmountable temptations and tragic accidents, acute satire and gospel motifs are connected to a single canvas, where Bosch competes with the highest samples and accompanies the hero into a German madhouse or Russian prison.
I I would like to be only a reader in order to survive all this with the heroes of the novel, not paying for a ticket for a “damn wheel” with his health and the lives of friends. I envy you. Andrei Pale (“25/17”)
Gigolashvili wrote his most acute and bright text. Mature skill and impeccable creative calculation.
Dmitry Bavilsky
grotesque, as it should be in real prose, is adjacent to tragedy here, intertwining so closely that the seams are not visible.
