The Great Tushino Zga

Pathos and mockery, nostalgia for the past – and mysticism within the mundane, trademark humor – and deeper meaning, brutal realism – and urban legends, rumors and anecdotes… The inventive style of Ivan Okhlobystin is fully revealed in his new novel, where teenagers from the eighties, their concerned parents, alcoholic inventors, highly cultured gypsies, famous rockers, retired special service heroes, enterprising cops, tolerant priests, hardened followers of Porfiry Ivanov, imaginary spies, phantoms of Russian history, as well as a goat, a rabbit, and a human brain in a flask… The setting is Tushino, above and below ground. In short, with Okhlobystin, you won't be bored.
