Brick

Behind the Book:

Another reissue of Ermek Tursunov’s sharp and polemical book, published under the rather symbolic title Brick. It brings together the author’s most notable journalistic writings, originally published in Russian periodicals during the first twenty years of independence.

The topics vary. But taken together, they all point to one central theme: Our life. Our country. Our shared history. Still very fresh. Still not fully understood.

But time goes by, and each day we live becomes the past by the next morning. And the past must be remembered. And known. Analyzed. So we can understand how-and where-to move forward.

The book is intended for a wide audience.
