"Mosquitoes in the City" by Erlom Akhvlediani, is a philosophical novel about matter of life concerns. A mosquito is a metaphor of a human being
discovered in an unknown world. The author represents it as a humanized insect, at the same time comparing him with Eros, god of love. A sting of mosquito causes love, which is illness. And
because Eros is a god, killing him is a fatal crime. But on the other hand, death is the only way to turn into a god, which is why the mosquito, an innocent human is looking for a person
who will help him end his existence. This novel written with minimalist style is full of paradoxes, combining imagination and reality. Read an
