Rezension zu „Gardener from Ochakov “
"Kurkov masters the details superbly, writes with constant consummate wit and souffle lightness" -- Tom Adair Scotsman "Some see him as a latter day Bulgakov; to others he's a Urkanian Murakami. With a characteristic mix of realism and fantasy it [The Gardener from Ochakov] will delight fans. Kurkov combines the mundane details of life in modern Ukraine (minibus taxis, tins of sprats and bottles of moonshine) with surreal elements from thrillers and sci-fi: knife wielding gangsters, or quantum leaps in the midnight suburbs. The plot rattles along like a Kiev commuter train, regularly stopping for vodka, salami and salted cucumbers." -- Phoebe Taplin Guardian "More than a clash of ages. It's also a tale about fathers and sons and what they need from each other" -- Lesley McDowell Glasgow Sunday Herald "Quickly becomes an absorbing rollercoaster, an understated fantasy with an unlikely but likeable hero" -- Matthew Dennison The Times
