Mikhail Gigolashvili is the author of the novels “The Interpreter”, “Ferris Wheel” (shortlist and reader vote prize for the “Big Book” award), “Capture of Muscovy” (shortlist for the “NOS” award), “The Secret Year” ( “Russian Prize”). In the new novel “Coca”, the recognizable young hero from “The Ferris Wheel” continues his psychedelic epic. Amsterdam, Paris, Russia and – of course – Tbilisi. Everywhere there is tempting freedom... but from what? The social and criminal bottom, the most tender nostalgia, irresistible temptations and tragic accidents, sharp satire and evangelical motifs are combined into a single canvas, where Bosch competes with lyrics of the highest standard and accompanies the hero either to a German madhouse or to a Russian prison.
