Author Kaluzhskij M.
Title Legenda o Karagaj. Roman v 40 nekrologah
Description "The Legend of Karagai" by Mikhail Kaluzhsky is built from forty obituaries written after the death of the composer Maxim Arnautov. Little by little, these short pieces assemble his life story. At the same time, they uncover the people who write about him. Each obituary speaks about the dead man, though it also exposes the voice and motives of the speaker. Kaluzhsky shows how memory becomes distorted, how a human life turns into judgement and projection. The reader gathers one biography from guesses and contradictions. The book is written with ease and fine irony. This is a novel about memory, death and reputation. It leaves a strong sense that a person may remain mysterious even after a long life has ended.
