Koka

Mihail Gigolashvili — avtor romanov “Tolmach”, “Chertovo koleso” (short-list i priz chitatel'skogo golosovaniya premii “Bol'shaya kniga”), “Zahvat Moskovii” (short-list premii “NOS”), “Taynyy god” (“Russkaya premiya”). V novom romane “Koka” uznavaemyy molodoy geroy iz “Chertova kolesa” prodolzhaet svoyu psihodelicheskuyu epopeyu. Amsterdam, Parizh, Rossiya i — konechno zhe — Tbilisi. Vezde — iskusitel'naya svoboda… no ot chego? Social'noe i kriminal'noe dno, nezhneyshaya nostal'giya, nepreodolimye soblazny i tragicheskie sluchaynosti, ostraya satira i evangel'skie motivy soedinyayutsya v edinoe polotno, gde Bosh konkuriruet s lirikoy samoy vysokoy proby i soprovozhdaet geroya to v nemeckiy durdom, to v rossiyskuyu tyur'mu. Gigolashvili napisal svoy samyy ostryy i yarkiy tekst. Zreloe masterstvo i bezuprechnyy tvorcheskiy raschet. Grotesk, kak i polozheno v nastoyaschey proze, sosedstvuet zdes' s tragizmom, perepletayas' tak tesno, chto shvov ne vidno.
