"Zinziver" by Viktor Slipnchuk is a complex, multi-facetted 'coming-of-age' tale of both modern Russia and the young poet Mitya as he navigates his own future and relationships in a rapidly changing world.
Quintessentially Russian in flavour, it abounds with symbolism, imagery, and portraiture reminiscent of the country's folklore and as such, is imbued with descriptions of places, perceptions, and lifestyles at once harsh, alien, and even somewhat romantic, to Western readers.
Zinziver is above all a love story; between the narrator and his wife Rozochka, and between the poet and the written word. Whilst the latter is the source of frustration and ultimately, newfound wealth, the latter is fraught with confusion, heartache, and tragedy.
Challenging situations and encounters are faced philosophically and even optimistically, allowing him to embrace often surprising opportunities as they appear in various areas of his life.
Slipenchuk has created a highly unique novel which is bound to enthral readers and propel them towards his other translated works, including the equally accomplished collection of novellas and short stories.
