Synopsis
...Somehow even the name of the book gives a vision of its author, of his outrageous iconoclasm to which all responded with enthusiasm. Francis Greene
I was lucky to have my play staged by Mikhail Levitin. What I saw was the work of a true master, a magical spectacle. Kurt Vonnegut
A philandering husband s guilty conscience after his latest love affair prompts him to take his wife and children to Paris in a final attempt to save his marriage. A precocious teenager with a passion for theatre discoveries a mysterious book in a secondhand bookshop and makes it his mission to find out more about it. 1917, a theatre director flees from the Bolsheviks abandoning his wife and daughter but returns, using all his ingenuity to survive the Party and the terrible hardships and privations that ensued.
Levitin s eccentric writing is distinguished by its strong element of the absurd, in the spirit of the absurdist writers of the 1920s. For him the absurd is a view of life from its seamier side, where so-called normal people appear insane and eccentricity is a way of preserving one s sanity.
Author s previous novel Total Indecency was short listed for the Russian Booker Prize.
