DON'T DIE BEFORE YOUR DEATH The renowned Russian poet and writer, writes in detail about the coup of August 1991 from the inside of the tank-sorrounded White House as no one else has. But the coup is merely a knot of many threads that make up his novel. It is a political philosophical, a detective thriller, and a love story. The novel is sentimental and satirical and fairy-tale like and cruelly realistic. Its protagonists are the author himself, an investigator of special cases; a great Russian soccer player; Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and Shevardnadze, portrayed both from life and hypothetically.It is a serious novel, but a page-turner. 540 pp. |
