Andreï Makine

Book Review: Two From Andreï Makine — A Matter of Trust

Makine may be plagiarizing himself, which is a perfectly legitimate thing for a writer to do, but scenes of spring snow and railroad stations become clichés even in talented hands.

Fiction Review: An Unforgettable “Life of an Unknown Man”

In The Life of an Unknown Man Andreï Makine creates a work of simple elegance that at its core explores the relationship of the past to the present, of truth to art, and of truth to life.
