Publisher's Summary
From the New York Times best-selling author of A Constellation of Vital
Phenomena - dazzling, poignant, and lyrical interwoven stories about
family, sacrifice, the legacy of war, and the redemptive power of art.
This stunning, exquisitely written collection introduces a cast of remarkable
characters whose lives intersect in ways both life-affirming and heartbreaking.
A 1930s Soviet censor painstakingly corrects offending photographs deep
underneath Leningrad, bewitched by the image of a disgraced prima ballerina.
A chorus of women recount their stories and those of their grandmothers,
former gulag prisoners who settled their Siberian mining town. Two pairs
of brothers share a fierce, protective love. Young men across the former
USSR face violence at home and in the military. And great sacrifices
are made in the name of an oil landscape unremarkable except for the
almost incomprehensibly peaceful past it depicts.
In stunning prose, with rich character portraits and a sense of history
reverberating into the present, The Tsar of Love and Techno is a captivating
work from one of our greatest new talents.
What the Critics Say
"Powerful...strikingly reimagines a nearly a century of changes in Russia.
[T]he book's brilliance and humor are laced with the somber feeling
that the country is allergic to evolution." (Kirkus Reviews)
"As in his acclaimed novel, Marra finds in Chechnya an inspiration for
his uniquely funny, tragic, bizarre, and memorable fiction." (Publishers
Weekly)
