The book by the young talented writer Ildar Abuzyarov consists of original stories with fascinating plots on the eternal theme of love and sacrifice. The language of these works is so original and bright that you can’t help but wonder how you can talk about simple things in such bewitchingly beautiful images. Deep observations of the nature of man and human relationships, keen feeling and experience, and airiness of the narration unite all the stories into a single symphony of the book “Kurban Novel”. All the stories were published in thick literary magazines, but not one of them was published in a book version. Two of the stories - "Mail" and "Moor" - were simultaneously included in the shortlist for the Kazakov Prize, which has never happened in the history of this award.
