Evgeni Grishkovets

“There only are two kinds of readers: those who like Grishkovets, and those who have not read him yet.”
ECHO MOSKVY

“Exactly what was needed: Literature for an intelligent, educated reader, which combines a refined sense of irony with a positive view of the world.”

ABOUT VODKA IS MUCH BIGGER

“Evgeny Grishkovets is a comforter. Those are needed at all times, but especially in difficult times. Here everyone finds something for himself. Everyone who knows that there are no recipes or advice to be found here. Everyone who understands irony and who is no stranger to self-irony. Everyone who not only wants thoughtful reading, but also wants to have fun while reading. Everyone who is not only looking for laughter and fun while reading, but is also looking for a thoughtful book.“

“Now has come that rare time, that most beautiful moment when it is better to read about vodka than to drink it. This is not a treatment, not round of stories and tales, not an overlong toast. Although it is the first, the second, and the third, of course, too. But, first of all, a soulful and warm conversation.“
NEZVISIMAYA GAZETA

“(These texts) amuse the heart and tingle pleasantly on the tongue, with a Mozartian ease and grace that covers all the main aspects of the extremely complicated relationship between Russians and an alcoholic beverage that has entered the national cultural code.“
RBK STYLE

“Grishkovets knows how to convince. His talent, which always focuses on the love for people, cannot be taken away from him... This cultural «research» is not about vodka at all, but, in the author's good tradition, about people and their relationship to life. And the study is anything but scientific.“
