About a novel

[edit]

"The Literature Express is at its best when embracing the literary cacophony of its setting. The characters and their furious battle to out-do one another professionally gives the book its bleak humor, and a degree of uneasy edge (...) Maya Kisashvili's translation is utterly elegant and succeeds in conveying outlandish guffaw-worthy humor without ever sounding mannered."–Tweed's Magazine[2]
