About the book: 2008 / "By the mid-2000s, we finally had our own “generation X”, whose heroes, like the characters of Copeland’s cult novel, they prefer freedom, the road and a good story to the prestigious joys of the metropolis. Of course, India is a fashionable and almost win-win topic. But Bom Bulinat was not written for a bunch of dudes infected with Goa syndrome, for whom India has become a more “advanced” alternative to a ski resort. The book contains many ironic and accurate descriptions of local specifics, but this story is not only about a single journey, which always involves a point of return. Her heroes are precisely concerned with the theme of “non-return” - to themselves, familiar and former ones. Behind each character stands and grins a specific living person, with a characteristic manner of speech, bad habits and touching weaknesses. The authors managed not to lose this direct intonation and carry it through the entire book, and this is worth a lot.” Natalia Babintseva (“Vremya Novostey”»)
