Yana Moskalenko is a writer and philologist. She has been published in the magazine "Yunost". "Auction" is her debut novel. Can one sell their soul? Better to ask what the price is. The city offers all legal pleasures, while illegal... ones are easier to procure in the Quarters. But the soul is a delicate matter. There is only one place where they pay for other people's lives. Do you have the courage to place bids when the Auction begins? "Ishiguro in 'Never Let Me Go' told us about the lives of donors raised for organ transplantation. In 'Auction', we seem to read the second part of the story: about those who take advantage of this donation. And it seems they are not doing so well either". (Yana Wagner) "Behind the fantastic plot lie philosophical questions — about the ethical boundaries of using new technologies, about the possibilities of artificial intelligence and its eternal competition with the human mind, but perhaps even more about the limits of humanity, about where a person ends and begins". (Maya Kucherskaya) "The 'Auction', grand and dark, is thought out to the smallest detail and, despite the fact that the action takes place in a conditional future, you believe in its signs absolutely. The world is convincing, the characters linger in your mind. And — most importantly: love in Yana Moskalenko's novel ultimately triumphs". (Marina Stepanova)
