An ebullient black comedy... Reminiscent of the best Soviet dissident literature * Daily Telegraph * Full of touches of grim insight and tactful surrealism, with just enough of the absurd to suggest a cross between John le Carre's Smiley and Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita -- John Burnside * Scotland on Sunday * Kurkov is a fine satirist and a real, blackly comic find * Observer * Kurkov flips from mock-tragedy to comedy and back again, planting the ominous and the absurd neatly among deadpan descriptions of a daily life in denial * The Times * Kurkov received universal praise for his debut novel Death and the Penguin... Kurkov's latest is better * Time Out *
