Printsip Poliny - Kovelart Did'e, van

About the book:

Onetime writer quincy buys on a bookish breakup his debut novel, written many years ago. He opens the book and sees there the dedication - Polyna and Max. And quincy transfixed: these two were an entire epoch in his destiny, in fact, they were his life. How many years has egone. He just published his first book. Pauline was a student. And Max... Max was behind bars - in prison, where he offered to conduct the first literary readings in his life, and where Pauline so wanted to penetrate. On that day their fate was decided - they became an extension of each other. This is a novel about the fact that sometimes friendship can be stronger than a love fever, and loyalty can lead to the very edge of the abyss. Inventive, sometimes irresistibly funny and very romantic story - an anthem of love and friendship, which is sometimes indistinguishable
. Didier van Covelart is the winner of the Goncourt Prize and a number of other literary prizes. He is one of the most famous contemporary French writers. For all its outward ease, van Covelart's novels are a sophisticated literary game in a truly French style, elegant and unpredictable. Covelart works at the junction of mass and great literature, constantly playing with forms and styles. Each new novel of his is completely unpredictable, and therefore interesting. One of the main advantages of van Covelart's books is that they, in fact, create the image of modern France. At the same time, the easy style of his works perfectly gets along with the postmodern literary game, addressed to the reader more sophisticated. In his new novel, the Writer takes this postmodern game to the next level. Taking the traditional for French literature plot with a love triangle, he completely reinterprets it, forcing a new look at the banal situation. He twists it in different directions, offers to look from unexpected angles and, in the end, comes to a paradoxical ending.
Van Covelart's laid-back, easy-to-find novel is a sophisticated game, pretending to be mass literature, which in turn is part of postmodern dressing. The Pauline Principle is the principle of mirrors that the characters show to each other and the reader, offering to see what you can't catch with a simple glance. The ideal sample of literature is lively, easy to read, but quite difficult in nature.
