C'est un grand livre.- Le Figaro (Paris)A gripping account of what life on the border really means. - The New York Times Book ReviewDostoyevsky-ridden and Hemingway-haunted, the novel seems suspended between two cultures, two literatures... A strong writer. - Publishers WeeklyThe narrative is undoubtedly about love- Novoye Russkoe Slovo (New York)Dense, puissant, profondément lyrique...- Le Devoir, CanadaFlaunts a fascination with Western-style decadence and the excesses of the Male Writer as in Hemingway, Miller, Kerouac and Ian Fleming- New Statesman (London)Kirill, the narrator, is a KGB agent... It is always a surprising narrative... The Marksman is engrossing... The translation... by Rodger and Angela Keys sparkles... - Yorkshire Post (UK)Versions of irony... Clever and sophisticated- The Guardian (London)
