"I took the flag off my shoulders and, waving it, walked down the steps to a thunderous ovation. 'What enemy, Revaz?' asked Vadim. 'When the cause is just, there's always an enemy, even if it's not always visible.'" Azamat Gabuev's book recounts the life and work of an average official who exploits corrupt connections and devises the most absurd laws and bans for the local parliament, while shamelessly leading a double life himself. One day, he encounters a talking bust of Stalin and quickly becomes the agent of his tyrannical will. Behind the witty satire and literary playfulness of Gabuev's novel lies a joyful, macabre fantasy where conspiracy theories, historical delirium, and the complex structure of modern society coexist. Azamat Gabuev is the author of the novel A Cold Day in the Sun (2018) and numerous short stories published in Esquire, Oktyabr, Druzhba Narodov, and other magazines. He was longlisted for the Debut Prize (2011) and shortlisted for the FICTION35 Prize (2019).
