Description
Nigel Dennis, Sunday Telegraph, said:'It is the tone of this book that is so marvellously new. It has no villains in it - which many people may think shows incredible tolerance. it shows something else, really - that when the world is reduced to guiltless criminals, freaks, narks, nuts adn placemen, a loud laugh is more crushing than a howl of agony'. The central action of the book takes place within a time span of three days in a special prison (a technological research establishment employing highly qualified political prisoners), situated in a converted country house in the outer suburbs of Moscow. The book is rich in characters, most of whom are essential to the structure of the closely interlocking narrative.
