"The Patrick Melrose novel series has been the most amazing reading experience of the last decade for me," wrote Michael Chabon. He was echoed by such venerable writers as David Nichols ("Edward St. Aubin's novels about Patrick Melrose - a complete delight from beginning to end. Read it to everyone, immediately!"), Alan Hollinghurst ("Edward St. Aubin is probably the most brilliant British author of his generation”), Alice Sebold (“Edward St. Aubin is one of our greatest stylists, and his novels about Patrick Melrose are a masterpiece of XNUMXst century literature”) and many others. Well, in the television series "Patrick Melrose" the main role was brilliantly played by Benedict Cumberbatch. In his latest novel, Double Control, Saint Aubyn “tackles the most pressing issues with extraordinary ease. The book pierces and amazes to the core, turning serious topics - neuroscience, ecology, psychoanalysis, theology, oncology and genetics into a fascinating firework of innovative ideas ... In his delightful novel, St. Aubyn with diamond sharpness reveals the essence of family and love, friendship and rivalry, ambition and morality” (Air Mail). Moving from London to the French Cote d'Azur, and from the wilderness of Sussex to California's Big Sur, the heroes of Saint Aubin explore the themes of freedom and predestination, the mysteries of life and the problems of consciousness. At the same time, Francis and Olivia are madly in love with each other, and Lucy, an old friend of Olivia, is trying to build a relationship with her new boss Hunter, a virtuoso of venture investments ... “Henry James, who believed that a novelist must first interest the reader, would be happy to meet with Saint Aubin. Double Control is an emotionally compelling and intellectually captivating novel. I could not tear myself away from him ”(Ian McEwan). For the first time in Russian.
