About the book: 2022 / The novel "Maniac Gurevich" is not for nothing subtitled "biography in pictures" - in it the author for the first time combined two literary forms: a novel extended in time with a whole garland of “pictures” about Dr. Gurevich, from his early childhood to the present day: funny, ridiculous, touching, poignant, sad or homerically funny. Thanks to this movable design, the book “breathes easily.” The action rushes without being sagged by the ponderous backside of high morality, without torturing “philosophical ideas,” without sitting heroes on buskins, which is what so-called “serious premium literature” now sins with. At the same time, in Dina Rubina’s novel there is both the depth of experience and the acuteness of sensations of human existence.
