Reviews

A glorious, epic, eccentric and often hilarious satire, heavily tinged with Russian melancholy
*The Times*

There is much to enjoy in this book. Kurkov works in the tradition of Nikolai Gogol and Mikhail Bulgakov, blending folkloric characters, magical realism and political satire to reveal a society riddled with greed, stupidity and corruption
*Financial Times*

Good-hearted and brutal at the same time, The Milkman in the Night is a complex, unsettling mixture of bleakness and warmth
*Sunday Times*

Kurkov is hugely talented
*Time Out*

This book is a joyride... Kurkov has a rollercoaster of fun between zig and zag. He defies the reader not to join him
*Scotsman*
