Dmitri Danilov

“Writers repeatedly attempt to break free of literary parameters and present the reader with the ‘confessions of a burning heart’ instead of a palette of old and new stylistic devices. We are familiar with this largely romantic endeavour from many authors from Dostoevsky to Limonov. However, it seems that none has taken literary rejection as far as Danilov.“
LITERATURNOE (EVGENI CHIZHOV)

“Buster Keaton humour with a deadpan expression.”
EX LIBRIS

“The absence of subject, events, psychology makes Danilov’s prose a transparent glass disc through which we see nothing but our own experience… Danilov focuses attention on what we see without seeing it, what we hear without hearing it, what we do without noticing.”
KOMMERSANT

“We are faced with a consummate, uncoventional prose writer.”
KULTURA

“Danilov is something of a new Oblomov.”
SERGEI SHARGUNOV

“I would go as far as to say that this book belongs next to Ignatius von Loyola and less alongside Robbe-Grillet and Nathalie Sarraut.”
