Description
Grish Sardaryan - Instruction Book
"Instruction Book" by Grish Sardaryan is a novel that cleverly blurs the lines between the mundane and the extraordinary, set against the backdrop of present-day life. At the heart of the story is Argine, who embarks on an unexpected journey from filling out the order book at his workplace—a seemingly ordinary task that evolves into something profoundly significant, his 'Order Book.' This book, while never physically described or directly interacted with within the narrative, becomes a pivotal, albeit invisible, force throughout the novel. Sardaryan poses a reflective question: "Is a novel conceivable without a book?" suggesting a story that thrives in the unseen, the unspoken. The narrative gracefully transitions from the structured reality of the Order Book to the imaginative and liberating domain of the 'Command Novel.' Here, the essence of Argine's life unfolds: a rich tapestry that incorporates his childhood in the 90s, the nuances of his hometown, the depth of his relationships, and the spectrum of individuals who have left a mark on his existence. This exploration extends across time—past, present, and future—revealing Argine's intricate web of challenges and reflections, all the while playing with the idea that "all coincidences are accidental." "Instruction Book" invites readers to delve into the profound complexity of life, where the everyday is interwoven with the fabric of the narrative, suggesting the significance lies not in the overt but in the subtle, the shadows, and the unseen moments. Grish Sardaryan's masterpiece challenges readers to find depth in the ordinary, presenting a narrative that is as thought-provoking as it is innovative.
