A blend of autobiography and «coming-of-age novel.» It is both a cynicism-laden monologue of a hero teetering on the brink of a nervous breakdown, a diagnosis of the era, and an introspective look into oneself. Through sketches of Moscow life...
and shocking scenes from the Chechen campaign, the author explores the nature of violence and forgiveness. The non-linear structure, the very rhythm of Rubanov's prose, and detailed visual imagery create an effect of complete immersion in the fragmented consciousness that seeks a point of support in a world where a «good guy» is not a profession.
For fans of contemporary literature, lovers of novels about the nineties and the noughties.
