«Отец смотрит на запад»—дебютный роман Екатерины Манойло, который задолго до выхода книги привлек пристальное внимание литературных обозревателей и критиков, а также получил премию «Лицей» имени Александра Пушкина. Героиня романа Катя—дочь русской и казаха—живет в маленьком приграничном городе, и две эти культуры оказали равное влияние на формирование ее личности: противоречивой, сложной, яркой. Она уезжает в Москву от глубокой личной трагедии, но вырваться из родных мест навсегда невозможно: они притягивают, заставляют вернуться хотя бы ненадолго и пытаются сломать.

Но скоро выясняется, что среди его сослуживцев немало гораздо более странных людей. Роман Аси Демишкевич, написанный в традициях русской волшебной сказки, одновременно утверждает и разрушает сказочный канон.
