Arkadi Bartov

„Mukhin is a high volume distillate of old Russian story telling tradition and soviet samizdat literature. As clear as good vodka and gloriously quick witted… Personal descriptions of a decaying world order, constructed out of distance to, and fascination for, the Russian mentality and its stubborn stereotypes in a post Stalinist empire”
SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG

“Arkady Bartov’s conceptional miniatures give as much space to the insanity of the system as to the melancholic Russian soul or the mysterious logic of trash literature”
