For the first time in Russian - the newest novel by the modern classic David Mitchell, two-time Booker Prize finalist, author of such intellectual bestsellers as Dream No. 9, Cloud Atlas (recently filmed by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski brothers), The Hungry House and others. And although “Utopia Avenue” seems limited in time and space - “swinging London”, the legendary Chelsea Hotel in New York, San Francisco at the end of the “summer of love” - Mitchell again builds “a grandiose project, superbly executed and deeply humanistic, drawing connections between Edo-era Japan and a distant apocalyptic future” (Los Angeles Times). What we have here is “a vivid, imaginative and moving portrait of an era when it was believed that the future belonged to youth and music. And at the same time, there is a nagging sadness about the fleeting nature of this idealism” (Spectator). It would seem that only chance or the arbitrariness of the producer brought together blues bassist Dean Moss, expelled from the group “Battleship Potemkin”, guitar virtuoso Jasper de Zoet, from whose head an evil spirit, known to him since childhood as Tuk-Tuk, is breaking free, pianist Elf Holloway of the folk duo Fletcher and Holloway and jazz drummer Griff Griffin - but in its short history, Utopia Avenue has left an indelible mark on the memory and hearts of an entire generation... “Wonderful book! I couldn’t tear myself away from her for two days...” (Brian Eno)
