About the book: 2003 / The novel "Feast of the Vanquished" has a difficult fate. During the years of stagnation, it was outlawed and seized. Tsytovich’s name “thundered” suddenly when the magazine “April”, the organ of the Union of Writers of Russia, nominated his novel for the prestigious literary prize “Booker Debut” and it entered the top ten nominees. The plot of the novel is complex and multi-layered, and the narrative develops in two planes - the past and the present, which are intertwined in the consciousness and memories of the hero, a former military pilot and prisoner, and now a hard worker and writer. This is a novel about war, about the hero’s difficult path to God, to Love, to himself.
