TIRKISH JUMAGELDIEV. Energy of Fear, or Yellow Cat’s Head.
This novel might become a no less bomb for Turkmenian literature then Solgenitsin’s “One Day of Ivan Denisovich” used to be for the Soviet literature. Though nobody knows when it may be published in the author’s Motherland. The pride of Turkmenian literature, one of the glorious pleiad of the sixties, Tirkish Jumageldiev had been writing this secret novel taking much more risks than its protagonist — dramatic actor once well-known in his republic Abdullah Nuriev.
RAVIL BUKHARAEV. Lyrical Poems.
Lyrical poems by Ravil Bukharaev often present a road. For example from Tbilisi, from luxurious gardens of Sololaki at dawn till Altai’s taiga. There, in a poor ayil (village), under Gerasim and Rosa’s roof, where the mundane is blending with the heavenly, where the crater of the sun is situated, the poet begins to see clearly his path to celestial heights.
