The predicted result of the Big Book. Who is not Zuleikh, he lost Automatic translate

MOSCOW. The Literary Academy supported the choice of readers. The winner of the Big Book is Guzel Yakhina.

Sensation did not happen. The jury of the “Big Book” did not remain indifferent to the heavy share of the dispossessed Tatar woman and the opinion of the people who had cast the majority of votes on the book of Yakhina the day before, leaving behind such masters as Rubin and Pelevin. Professionals and amateurs dispersed in only one point.

Vox populi included Yakhina, Zalotukha and Matveeva in the top three. The High Areopagus dispersed with the people in only one point: instead of Matveyeva, her deep and intelligent prose, he preferred Roman Senchin with the ambiguous "Zone of Flooding". The novel, which focuses the reader on the highest injustice from the point of view of the author, built on unequivocal allusions, leads him into false wilds, behind a palisade of myths piled on top of each other. The prospect of completing the construction of a hydroelectric station (meaning a really existing and well-known object) is identified almost with an apocalypse of local scale.

For those who know the real situation, the main message of the work will seem at least unconvincing. The two-volume “Candle” is a grandiose design and execution work of the writer and screenwriter Valery Zalotukha, to whom he gave 12 years. Shortly after finishing work on the author’s book, which was better known to the general public for scripts for the paintings “72 meters”, “Muslim”, “Makarov”, died. An application for participation in the Big Book was filed shortly before his death. The story of an intelligent veterinarian Yevgeny Zolotorotov, who fell into the millstones of fate, could claim a well-deserved victory.

“Zuleikha opens her eyes” is the debut that any aspiring author secretly dreams of. The inclusion of short literary prizes in the country indicates that the book appeared very timely. Its quality, good language, national flavor and relevance of the plot would not allow to ignore it. Despite the predictability of some storylines, the clichéd description of a number of characters and some other nuances. There is no doubt that the adaptation of the sensational novel is not far off.
