From the man Arturo Prez-Reverte has called ""the most talented young Russian author"" comes this extraordinary family saga, a journey into the depths of the human soul.

TheRound-dance of Wateris a detailed portrait of three generations of a large family, but in this story there is no division into primary and secondary characters: each individual fate carries its weight and runs into the bloody river of the twentieth century. The novel drifts between years, tones, and styles, and the range of its influences is overwhelming, ranging from Rudyard Kipling to Andrei Platonov and Daniil Kharms, from gangster movies to Japanese anime.

Reviews for The Round-dance of Water

""A whirlpool that drags a swimmer to the bottom, into death and oblivion, it is also a waterspout lifting one above the surface of life. Finally, it's the eternal cycle we know about from our schooldays. Sergey Kuznetsov's novel is a battle with the fear of death. The recipe is simple: love those who are close to you, and remember that you are neither the beginning, nor the end. Yes, this unusual family saga also resembles a whirlpool, engulfing its readers and holding them till the last page."" -- Leonid Yuzefovich ""An unusual chronicle of our time, of the past decades. It's not only the story of various characters, not only a portrait gallery. This is a history of human passions, a ""rounddance"" of desire told in 108 chapters (an essential number in Buddhist culture)."" * Echo of Moscow Radio *
