Ukraine: Andrey Kurkov Book Review

Kevin Kinsella at Languor Management disagrees ^[1] with Victor Sonkin, a book reviewer who is being too harsh on Andrey Kurkov, a Ukrainian writer whose novels, originally in Russian, have been translated into many languages: “I'd call it ‘pleasantly surreal’ as opposed to Sonkin's ‘without rhyme or reason’ – despite also being a straightforward and, in most respects, realistic portrait of Kiev life (and death) in the 1990s.”
