Evgeny Chizhov - Proseik, twice the finalist of the Big Book and the laureate of the Yasnaya Polyana Prize for the novel “Collector of Paradise”.
The hero of “Transfer from the Settail” Moscow poet Oleg Pechigin goes to Central Asia at the invitation of his former student comrade, And now a noticeable figure in the government of Koshtyrbastan, in order to translate into Russian the poems of President Gulimov, the prophet in his country.
The East appears in the novel and as a fairy tale from “Thousand and One Night”, and as a cruel, terrible reality. A stranger, an alien from another world is doomed. An attempt to become his own, to intervene in the course of events ends with a tragedy ...
Can a poet be in power? And to head the state? And what will the state, at the head of which the poet stands? “Transfer from the Settail” is not just about traveling to the east, but about immersion in another world sensation, the opposite of European rationality. About the damned poet on top of the power pyramid, about the prophet commanding tank divisions. Finally, about finding a miracle and inspiration with which the death carries.
“The best and, of course, the most relevant Russian novel of recent years.”
Galina Yuzefovich
