Evgeny Vodolazkin is a laureate of the Big Book and Yasnaya Polyana awards. In the novel "Brisbane" he continues the stories of heroes ("Laurus", "Aviator"), whose fate - as in an ancient tragedy - suddenly and immediately changes. Gleb Yanovsky, a virtuoso musician, at the peak of his success, loses the opportunity to perform due to illness and tries to find a different meaning in life, a new point of support. The past helps him in this - he tries to put together memories of his childhood in Kiev in the seventies, his youth in Leningrad, the present in Germany and again in Kyiv already in the XNUMXs. Only Brisbane is not among these journeys through life. Does such a city really exist? Or is it just a mirage, a dream, a utopian ideal, the music of the spheres?

- In your interviews, the city of Brisbane is often mentioned, well, and in general - Australia. Why?
Because when we have winter, they have summer.
- And when is summer?
“Then it’s summer for them too.” By our standards - summer. In our family, this place was considered paradise.
- For paradise there is too specific population. Descendants of convicts.
- So what?
“Paradise requires a good biography.
— Have you been there?
Where, in Australia?
No, in paradise. How do you know what biography is required there?
