I'm sorry to say, that Rabbi Schniperson from Tel Aviv must be obviously lacking in taste or furiously envious. I've read Alisa Ganieva's 'Salam, Dalgat!' last year and was highly impressed with her feeling for the language, grasp of the subject and artistic singularity. It's not just the enumeration of the happenings and its simplicity is utterly deceptive.

An absolutely boring spit-out by a talentless but very widely publicized young individual.

The story is basically an itinerary with a minimum author's fantasy applied - if anyone walks outside of his house in Dagestan and decides to write down everything he hears and sees - he'll get the same type of a book.

But gotta give Alisa her props - still some fantasy is present and is expressed in an unrealistic exagerration of Dagestani youth's cattle nature and mass imbecility.
