What's this book about? About American punks and African oilmen. About love and Soviet childhood. What could be the connection between all this? Ask Vadik Goldner, and he will answer you in a mixture of Russian with English and Portuguese. The hero of Alexander Stesin's new novel has lived several lives: an immigrant schoolboy, a young hardcore punk, a successful lawyer in Angola... "Troy Against All" is a book about how the experience of the past unexpectedly makes its way into our present. Telling about the hero's growing up on three continents, the author in his own way updates the classic genre of the "novel of education". The soundtrack here is sensual Portuguese fado, or fierce hardcore, which is equally loved in the slums of the Angolan capital, and in a backwater American city with a Homeric name. Alexander Stesin is a poet, novelist, traveler, and physician, author of By Way of Tea (2017), New York Detour (2019), The African Book (2020), Birds of Life (2021), and other books, winner of the Russian Prize (2014) and the NOS Literary Award (2019).
