About the book: 2019 / Andrei Ivanov’s new book immerses the reader in post-war Paris, in the world of Russian emigration. Resistance and collaborators, famous philosophers and artists, intelligence and murder... But this is not a historical narrative. This is a novel, the same as “A Romance with Cocaine”, “The Gift” or “Ulysses” (Russian only), telling about the inevitability of a tragic choice, love, hatred - about questions that concern us at all times.
