Улыбка Шакти: Роман

Roman, no bez i͡adra, vokrug kotorogo on obychno zakruchivaetsi͡a. Chelovek, no ne tot, kotorym obzhita otechestvennai͡a literatura. Indii͡a, no ne ta, kotorui͡u my ozhidaem. Li͡ubovʹ i obzhigai͡ushchai͡a blizostʹ, no cherez nikh - stremlenie k inomu. Slozhnai͡a intellektualʹnai͡a optika pri bezogli͡adnoĭ, kak v detstve, otkrytosti. Raĭ metafor, simfonicheskoe pisʹmo s neulovimoĭ smenoĭ registrov. Dzhungli, tigry, slony, ėkstremalʹnyĭ opyt, buddiĭskie peshchery, zhiznʹ s otshelʹnikami, sad sanskrita, transovye misterii, vstrecha s korolem lesnykh plemen, sufiĭskoe kruzhenie rechi mezhdu Zapadom i Vostokom, no skvozʹ ėtu romanticheskui͡u ėkzotiku - putʹ k istoku, mert͡sai͡ushchemu rodstvu s mirom. Mirom, kotoryĭ nachalsi͡a i prishel v dvizhenie ot ulybki Shakti. Putʹ ėtot dramatichen i chudesen. Odissei͡a pisʹma, plyvushchai͡a tuda, gde storoni͡atsi͡a slov. Sergeĭ Solovʹev - poėt, odin iz i͡arkikh predstaviteleĭ metarealizma. Rodilsi͡a v Kieve, zhivet v Mi͡unkhene, poslednie 17 let puteshestvuet po Indii. Prozu avtora otnosi͡at k tak nazyvaemomu intensivnomu pisʹmu, v kotorom "tekst zati͡agivaet - a potom smysly i assot͡siat͡sii vetvi͡atsi͡a, rasshiri͡ai͡utsi͡a - i chtenie priostanavlivaetsi͡a samo soboĭ, prichem zakladku khochetsi͡a pomestitʹ ne mezhdu stranit͡sami, a mezhdu predlozhenii͡ami. Ili mezhdu slovami" (A. Ulanov). "Ulybka Shakti", ostavai͡asʹ otdelʹnoĭ knigoĭ, sostavli͡aet s povestʹi͡u "Amort" (2005) i romanom "Adamov most" (2013) svoego roda trilogii͡u.

A novel, but without the core around which it usually spins. A person, but not the one who has lived in Russian literature. India, but not the one we expect. Love and burning intimacy, but through them — the desire for something else. Complex intellectual optics with reckless, as in childhood, openness. A paradise of metaphors, symphonic writing with an elusive change of registers. Jungles, tigers, elephants, extreme experiences, Buddhist caves, life with hermits, Sanskrit garden, trance mysteries, meeting with the king of forest tribes, Sufi whirling of speech between the West and the East, but through this romantic exoticism — the way to the source, shimmering kinship with the world. A world that began and was set in motion by Shakti's smile. This path is dramatic and wonderful. An odyssey of writing, sailing to where words are shunned. Sergey Solovyov is a poet, one of the brightest representatives of metarealism. Born in Kiev, lives in Munich, has been traveling in India for the last 17 years. The author's prose is attributed to the so-called intensive writing, in which "the text drags on — and then the meanings and associations branch out, expand — and reading stops by itself, and you want to place a bookmark not between pages, but between sentences. Or between the words" (A. Ulanov). "Shakti's Smile", remaining a separate book, makes up a kind of trilogy with the novella "Amort" (2005) and the novel "Adam's Bridge" (2013).
