About the book: 2009 / Ekaterina Zavershneva happily combines the sense of language inherent in any real writer by birthright with the insight of a professional psychologist. Her prose is not like the masslit with which store shelves are now littered: here the reader needs to be like a gold miner, undertaking to extract sparkling metal from under the stubborn earth's crust. Reading “Somnambulist” is difficult, but the more effort expended, the greater the return: for the lazy reader, this book will tell something about himself that he never suspected.
