Review

Vodolazkin can be very funny in the mordant Russian way. His depictions of Soviet-era academia are wry. . . . Although funny in places, the overarching mood of Brisbane is one of nostalgia, the emotion that pines for what is lost. Vodolazkin creates an atmosphere of suspicion that one is missing the most important moments, seeing the most important truths only in passing glances. R. R. Reno, First Things

Vodolazkins writing is symphonic in its abundance of descriptive detail. Michael Kurek, author of The Sound of Beauty

The magic of Vodolazkins talent takes place in the level of ideas and plot... and in the level of words and sounds. Vodolazkin plays with both Russian and Ukrainian languages that were not lost in translation. Alexandra Guzeva, Russia Beyond

Using two narrative voicesKyiv-born guitarist Gleb Yanovskys and his alcohol-sodden biographer Nestorsthis novel counterposes past and present, self and other. It can be defined as an exercise in Dostoyevskian polyphony, and certainly few contemporary writers are as steeped in the Russian greats as Vodolazkin. But its also a sophisticated and frequently moving study in dissonance, dedicated to pointing out contrasts between art and life, beauty and decay, intention and outcome. And, yes, between Ukraine and Russia. Booklist

Intensely lyrical and tender, while punctuated by moments of transfixing beauty, violence, ecstasy, and pain, Vodolazkins masterpiece is at once relatable and transcendent, straightforward and multilayered, rational and mystical. But what makes it especially relevant and poignant today, is its examination of the intertwined fates of two nations, Russia and Ukraine, through the lens of changing political regimes and complicated family relations. Dr. Marina Alexandrova, Department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies, University of Texas at Austin

I loved Brisbane. Smart and quirky. Brian Zahnd, author of When Everything's on Fire

Great prose recommends itself, and Vodolazkins needs none of my poor lauds. [His] novels do for time what Wendell Berry does for space: we cant just live where we are, we have to live when we are, too. Aaron Weinacht, Front Porch Republic

As the [war] has unfolded, Vodolazkins depiction of these two languages as part of one and the same person, as brothers and foes simultaneously, while not completely new for me, has introduced more nuance into my thinking. For an English reader less familiar with the relationship between Russia and Ukraine, the novel may well be a revelation. Marian Schwartz, LiteraryHub

Each [of Vodolazkins novels] is its own song, and these songs heard together become greater than the sum of their parts . . . The worlds of Laurus and Brisbane do not harmonize; instead, they sing to each other. Sometimes they shout at each other. But through it all Vodolazkin probes his central theme: the mysterious relationship of time and salvation, the bleeding back and forth of joy and grief across life and history, the never-ending exchange between our end and our beginning. Jane C. Scharl, The European Conservative

Brisbane is an ambitious novel: a meditation on the nature and staying power of music (and art in general), a love letter to the written word, and a nascent inquiry into whether one can be simultaneously Russian and Ukrainian....Vodolazkins pleasure in skewering convention and received wisdom is evident throughout his novels. Katherine Young, On the Seawall

Brisbane is, in a few words, a damn good novel. Beautifully translated from the Russian by Marian Schwartz, I enjoyed it immensely, and will probably seek out more books by Vodolazkin. My very highest recommendation. Tim Bazzett, author of the memoir, Booklover

With Brisbane, Eugene Vodolazkin, the artistic grandson of Dostoevsky, continues to develop his novelistic philosophy exploring how death contributes to lifes baffling meaningfulness. Englewood Review of Books, feature review

Brisbane is deep, ambitious. With its
