Each book by Sergei Nosov - a prose writer and playwright, a finalist of the Russian Booker and National Bestseller - is a creative experiment, a game with an intelligent reader. The heroes of the new novel are a children's poet, a positive psychiatrist, a married couple suffering from delusions of jealousy and the mysterious Francoise - go to India to meet the Brahmin Girish Baba. And in St. Petersburg, on the eve of their departure, very strange events take place... “Françoise, or the Path to the Glacier,” according to the author, “a novel about the strangeness of life, its suddenness and whimsicality.”
