Description
Archil Kikodze’s “The Southern Elephant” is an urban novel in which the action unfolds over a single day. A director, who will never make another film, lends his apartment to a friend to meet his beloved, while he wanders the streets of Tbilisi. The novel is an attempt to look into the mirror of the past and reassess life. Its pages unfold like cinematic scenes, portraying childhood, love, passion, trials, and tragedies. Against the backdrop of the protagonist’s memories, the recent history of Georgia emerges, haunting the narrator like a specter, holding him accountable for everything that has happened around him. The novel encompasses both personal experiences and historical-political events—from the Stalinist era to the civil wars of the 1990s. Kikodze, whose prose is truly intellectual, is presented to Armenian readers for the first time.
