Review

An ebullient black comedy... Reminiscent of the best Soviet dissident literature - Daily Telegraph

Full of touches of grim insight and tactful surrealism, with just enough of the absurd to suggest a cross between John le Carre's Smiley and Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita -- John Burnside - Scotland on Sunday

Kurkov is a fine satirist and a real, blackly comic find - Observer

Kurkov flips from mock-tragedy to comedy and back again, planting the ominous and the absurd neatly among deadpan descriptions of a daily life in denial - The Times

Kurkov received universal praise for his debut novel Death and the Penguin... Kurkov's latest is better - Time Out

From the Inside Flap

An international thriller, shot through with black satire and authentic detail, by the author of the highly acclaimed Death and the Penguin, which was short-listed for the Foreign Fiction Prize.
