Kurkov Andrei

Writer

Ukrainian novelist and journalist (born 1961), author of Death and the Penguin and other internationally translated works; often blends satire and surrealism.

Writes primarily in Russian; internationally translated; frequently explores Ukrainian society and political contradictions through satirical and surreal narratives.

The review praises Kurkov's evocative nocturnal depiction of Lviv and his blend of satire and melancholy. Characters are described as quirky yet dignified and generous. The plot's fantastic elements serve as a backdrop to sociopolitical observation and humane portraiture.

For:Readers of contemporary Eastern European fiction and fans of satirical, surreal novels.

 I have my doubts that some critics have actually read this book written by Kurkov two years before the 2014 revolution.
