An award–winning “satirical political thriller follows the . . . adventures of a Russian gem cutter . . . and the consequences of his affair with a virtual stranger.”(Publishers Weekly)

Professor Anfilogov, a wealthy and emotionless man, sets out on an expedition to unearth priceless rubies that no one else has been able to locate. His expedition reveals ugly truths about man’s disregard for nature and the disasters created by insatiable greed. In 2017, winner of the Russian Booker Prize, Olga Slavnikova stuns with a witty, engaging, and remarkable tale of love, obsession, murder, and the lengths people will go to get what they want.

Excellent writing in language and style. The translation seems to keep the original’s detail. It seems almost modernist in the lack of dialog and concentration introspective. There is the acquired taste of Soviet literature in this late novel. It is almost like the isolation and sudden freedom in life is reflected in literature.

Ja autore nebūtu tā pārņemta ar pašas ģeniālajām metaforām, tad arī galarezultāts droši vien būtu labāks. Potenciāli interesants stāsts, kas ievīstīts tāāādos smalkā stila autiņos, ka, nudien, apnīk tos nemitīgi ritināt, velti cerot, ka beidzot izdosies nonākt pie kodola

Любовь в седьмом вагоне is een bundel korte verhalen. De titel luidt in het Nederlands Liefde in de zevende wagon. Slavnikova schreef de verhalen in deze bundel in opdracht van de Russische Spoorwegen. Ze zijn eerder verschenen in een tijdschrift dat de Russische Spoorwegen uitgeeft voor reizigers die langere afstanden reizen per trein. Dat is ook waarom de verhalen een gemeenschappelijk thema hebben: de trein.
