Maria Galina

ABOUT LITTLE BOONDOCK

“Here the past becomes the scene of the action - just like the world of the dead in Little Wilderness or the coastal town in SES-2. Mind you, not by time, but by place, and it is this place that many of Galina‘s readers still remember, a place inhabi- ted by demons.“
KSENIA ROZHDESTVENSKAYA

ABOUT MOLE CRICETS

“Her novel is like a Rorschach test, everyone sees something different in it. One - loneliness and madness, another - chthonic forces gradually dominating the world, yet another - secret meanings of blood ties.”
GALINA YUZEFOVICH

ABOUT AUTOCHTHONES

“The novel „Autochthons“ immediately after the release became the subject of a local cult ... Maria Galina‘s book reminded me of David Lynch‘s „Twin Peaks“, which once opened up the abysses of everyday provincial life.“
NOVAYA GAZETA (Dmitri Bavilski)

“The author has managed in recent years to walk the fine line between entertaining genre fiction, astute chronicle of modernity and Borgesian metafiction... Galina cre- ates a world of elusive certainties in which the diligent reader is no more certain of his own existence than that of aliens and sylphs.“
AFISHA (Aleksandr Gavrilov)

“Galina rewards her readers with humor, scary moments, a trove of emotions, and plenty of intellectual history... inviting readers to explore the mysteries of their own public and private lives through thoughtful, meaningful fiction.“
