Както вероятно се досещате, романът на Николай Табаков "Синята гора" няма нищо общо с дърводобива. Той разказва живота. Катери се по стръмнините на собствените ни вълнения, спуска се стремглаво в личните ни бездни, плува във водите на нашето въображение. Колоритният език е примамка, изкушение, вечен гид в тази (странна) страна на чудесата. Пред непредубедения читателски поглед се изправят горските дебри на уж невинното ни самочувствие, планинските върхове на нашата предрефлексивна увереност, че сме точно ние, че сме тук и сега. Разпознаваме себе си в героите, без колебание вземаме страна, неспокойно отричаме, ... |

"Илиев е враг на литературното говорене, лъжепоетичното изразяване. Но той не се уеднаквява и с последните тенденции за разбиване на словесния лъжебарок с нарочната употреба на жаргон и всекидневен говор. При него този процес е органичен. Той притежава изострен усет за лъжа и фалш. Неговата реч е лаконична, доведена до почти кодово звучене. Тя не се разбира лесно, нужен е ключ, а това е драматическият усет, трябва да бъдеш театрал, за да я разбереш." Любен Гройс "Константин Илиев не е съдник. Повтарям - за мен той е летописец. Най-близко е до Чехов . Както тоя велик доктор, той следи симптомите, ... |

Какво представлява романът „Щастлива книга” от Балаж Дьоре и защо трябва да бъде написан? Отговор, разбира се, няма, но пътят към него е изследван чрез личния опит и с примери от литературата. Спорейки с Толстой , Дьоре твърди: „Видовете нещастие общо взето са винаги от един и същ порядък. Щастието е онова, което създава многообразие, неназовимо е, недостъпно. Нещастието лесно се прихваща, описва, разбира, от него повече се интересуват, тъй като посланието му е всеобщо. Щастието, чийто пулсиращи подводни течения, чието уравновесено и глухо сърцебиене, непредвидими изригвания или утаено горчиво спокойствие човек неведнъж ... |
