criticism

  • Karsten Kruschel on The Adoration of the Lizard or How to Destroy Angels : “The fifteen-year-old author has obviously seen a lot of horror films and has built in everything that has impressed him - multiple turns of the threat situation, rescue at the last second, the rearing of the Believed dead and so on. While the spiral of horror keeps turning, Ljubko Deresch manages to make his heroes realize in horror that even the worst bastard is human. When Fedja is dead and miraculously - or the influence of the hyacinth house - they go undetected, they find that they don't care what they did. The Adoration of the Lizard or How to Destroy Angels is a perfidious, fantastic pop novel that Ljubko Deresch has wisely peppered not only with pop-cultural references, but also with specifically Ukrainian connections. There are a number of footnotes and, at the end, even comments from the translator, which explain a lot, but inevitably leave the impression that some allusions must remain misunderstood. "
