Shakti's smile. Solovyov S.

Roman, but without a nucleus around which it usually twists. Man, but not the one that has been inhabited by domestic literature. India, but not the one we expect. Love and burning intimacy, but through them - the desire for another. Complex intelligent optics with reckless, as in childhood, openness. Paradise Metaphor, a symphonic letter with an elusive change of registers. Jungle, tigers, elephants, extreme experience, Buddhist caves, life with hermits, Sanskrit garden, trance mysteries, a meeting with the king of forest tribes, Sufi circle of speech between the West and the East, but through this romantic exotic - the path to the source with the world with the world. The world, which began and set in motion from Shakti's smile. This path is dramatic and wonderful. Odyssey of letters floating to where the words shun.

Sergey Soloviev is a poet, one of the brightest representatives of metarealism. Born in Kyiv, lives in Munich, has been traveling around India for the past 17 years. The author’s prose is attributed to the so -called intensive letter, in which “the text delays - and then the meanings and associations branch, expand - and reading is suspended by itself, and I want to put the bookmark not between the pages, but between the sentences. Or between words ”(A. Ulanov). “Shakti’s smile”, remaining a separate book, is with the story “Amort” (2005) and the Roman “Adam Bridge” (2013) a kind of trilogy.
