Aleksandr Grigorenko

ABOUT MEBET

"One of the best books of the year... Basically a «Lord of the Rings» about the Nentsy... it is not about the Taiga, stylisation or ethnography at all. This book is about human destiny and the fact that every one of us has to look death in the face one day."
SERGEI KUZNETSOV

"The Nentsy can indeed talk of luck. They now have the own real epic - profound, touching and illuminating."
GALINA YUZEFOVICH

 

ABOUT ILGET

"In this novel psychology and mythology dance hand in hand... combined with Homeric-biblical wisdom."
ALEKSANDR CHANTSEV

"Fantastic. And most interesting is the fact that fantasy here leaves the impression of real authenticity, as if it was a documentary-realistic text."
NIKOLAI ALEKSANDROV

"Braving the commercially suicidal subject of "northern ethnicity" for a second time and even though he uses the same material, Grigorenko successfully manages to produce a completely new novel that in no way resembles MEBET. And which has a moral message."
GALINA YUZEFOVICH
