No one will take this life away

A scattering of ironic and bitter sketches about anthropology, history, and psychiatry, entwined with a string of military and lyrical plots, is a dish that will surely appeal to fans of the prose of German Sadulaev. Ruthless reflection and the broadest cultural connotations, while the text is dense, captivating from the first to the last page. Sadulaev's new prose about the war in Ukraine, about man, and about how difficult it is to remain alive and authentic.
