How about it, Iron Mask?
9.99 €
Igor Savelyev is a journalist and novelist. Author of the novels "Tereshkova flies to Mars" and "Zeus". He was awarded the prize "Lyceum"-2018 for his acutely social novel "Hamlet's Lies" "about the generation of "hipster-collaborationists"" (Lev Danilkin).
In his new novel "How about it, Iron Mask?" the son of the Russian deputy prime minister, a Cambridge student, returns to Moscow at his father's summons and gets caught in the vortex of the coup d'état. If only to understand - who is in power now and how to escape from here?
"Alex felt for the first time that his father wasn't alive. When The Times and The Sun started writing about it? How many days does it take for a Russian putsch, as usual, to devour itself?...? Meaningless - and... pointless."
"- Is it true?
- What?
- That you 'betrayed Mr. P.".
- How do you know that?
- That's what Facebook says."
"The author was able to find an angle and language adequate to the new fake-calls, the boiling chaos, the political absurdity. Undoubtedly, this is an important novel."
Olga Slavnikova
"From the very beginning, the phantasmagoric life of Putin's 'new nobility' predictably attracted the attention of major satirists - who exposed, scourged and ridiculed it.
But only Savelyev succeeded in translating the main phrase of the tenth years into the language of prose fiction: "THEY F...EAT", something that neither Pelevin, nor Dorenko, nor Sorokin, nor Prokhanov managed.
