The Third Floor Flat (Kvartira)

USSR, mid-seventies. Frolov is a nondescript middle-aged man, despising himself and diligently adapting to circumstances and the majority. For the past seventeen years, he has lived in a dormitory with his wife and son, standing in line for an apartment... But will that very Apartment bring happiness to the hero?

'Mature, pulsating, growing, subtle. A suspense novel, a re-living of a turning point, a conflict with one's own essence. The writer so confidently rearranges the figures on the field of life. Double heroes, a riot of contrasting images, an impatient rhythm of the narrative. Like the eternal wait of someone on a waiting list for an apartment. And not only that. Languid, exhausting, promising' - book blogger katyaobrizan
