"Ganieva's writing has a kind of magic." -- Lauren Smart, Dallas
Observer "Never before has Russian literature produced such an
honest and complete picture of today's Caucasus."-- Kommersant
Weekend (Russia) **One of the Dallas Observer's "10 Books To Read
This Fall" ****World Literature Today Editor's Pick** This
remarkable debut novel by a unique young Russian voice portrays the
influence of political intolerance and religious violence in the
lives of people forced to choose between evils. The Mountain and
the Wall focuses on Shamil, a young local reporter in Makhachkala,
and his reactions, or lack thereof, to rumors that the Russian
government is building a wall to cut off the Muslim provinces of
the Caucasus from the rest of Russia. As unrest spreads and the
tension builds, Shamil's life is turned upside down, and he can no
longer afford to ignore the violence surrounding him. With a fine
sense for mounting catastrophe, Alisa Ganieva tells the story of
the decline of a society torn apart by its inherent extremes.
