DoramaroMan

The debut novel by film critic and translator Mikhail Zakharov hardly fits into the genre framework of a coming-of-age novel or any other familiar literary form. It is a collage of memories, film essays, and reviews with careful bibliographic references, unexpected literary allusions, and quotes from comics and video games. Stories about Tinder dates and trips to festivals are interspersed with critical analysis of the works of Olivier Assayas and Claire Denis, and the book concludes with a list of sources used. «DoramaroMan» is a book about wandering and self-discovery, a book about cinema, words, texts, and images.
