Зеркала и паутина

“Zerkala, otrajaushie mir, dariat nam udovolstvie lubovatsia soboi. Obstoiatelstva, opletaushie nas snaruji, sobirautsia v pautinu, kak i nervie, drojashie vnutri nashih tel. A kogda na plechi vdobavok navalivaetsia proshloe, to svoboda, kotoraia tak jadno jelaetsia, kak budto bie viegliadit rastaiavshei illuziei”. Andrei Astvacaturov"Eto roman o tom, chto drujba, lubov i vernost ne iavliautsia razmenniemi monetami, a cel ne opravdievaet sredstva. Durashliviei ton, v kotorom geroi povestvuet o svoih kafedralnieh i lubovnieh priklucheniiah, ne snijaet sereznosti postavlennoi avtorom zadachi: poimat ziebkuu gran, otdeliaushuu blagorazumie ot predatelstva, a blagie pomieslie ot nravstvennoi katastrofie". Pavel Basinskii"Put sovetsko-rossiiskogo intelligenta, kotoriei robko buntuet, ishet sebia, razocharovievaetsia i prinimaet pravila igrie. Rasskazano talantlivo, obaiatelno, pri etom ochen tonko shvachen nerv". Aleksandr Snegirev.

“Mirrors reflecting the world give us the pleasure of admiring ourselves. The circumstances that entwine us from the outside gather into a web, as do the nerves that tremble inside our bodies. And when the past also falls on our shoulders, then freedom, which is so eagerly desired, seems to look like a melted illusion.” Andrey Astvatsaturov"This is a novel about how friendship, love and loyalty are not bargaining chips, and the end does not justify the means. The goofy tone in which the hero narrates about his cathedral and love adventures does not reduce the seriousness of the author's task: to catch the shaky line separating prudence from betrayal, and good intentions from moral catastrophe." Pavel Basinsky"The path of the Soviet-Russian intellectual, who timidly rebels, searches for himself, is disappointed and accepts the rules of the game. It is told with talent, charmingly, and the nerve is very subtly captured." Alexander Snegirev.
