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)
