"Milena Michiko Flašar’s beautiful novel ... is a story about freedom and responsibility, and it results in an almost Sartrean meditation."

Times Literary Supplement
“A deeply compassionate meditation on one man’s life and its impending finality. Amusingly digressive and philosophically rich … Gaponenko, at just thirty-four, remains a serious young talent and someone to keep an eye out for in the coming years.”
