The Marksman (English-UK)

SERGE IOURIENEN. MARKSMAN. A NOVEL. C'est un grand livre. - Le Figaro (Paris) A gripping account of what life on the border really means. - The New York Times Book Review Dostoyevsky-ridden and Hemingway-haunted, the novel seems suspended between two cultures, two literatures… A strong writer. - Publishers Weekly The narrative is undoubtedly about love - Novoye Russkoe Slovo (New York) Dense, puissant, profondément lyrique… - Le Devoir, Canada Flaunts 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)
