The new novel by Dina Rubina "Maniac Gurevich" is a biography of the doctor, psychiatrist Semyon Gurevich. The incredible empathy of the hero acts on people like incense, and therefore those who suffer - as in a temple - at the sight of him are eager to confess. Because of the talent of compassion, Gurevich finds himself in the most paradoxical situations. The pictures of his life - merry and sad, homeric and lyrical, amusing and poignant - each of which is embodied in a separate - complete - chapter, give lightness to the novel's fabric, but not lightness. The sharpness of sensations of human existence, the depth of experience, the breadth of the manifestation of life - all these properties of Ruby's prose are present in the novel in full.
