Review:
'The post-Soviet era's own Joseph Heller.' -- Salon *'Like a victorious wrestler, this novel is so immodestly vigorous, so burstingly sure of its barbaric excellence, that simply by breathing, sweating and standing upright it exalts itself.' -- New York Times Book Review *'It's the best American comic novel since 'The Confederacy of Dunces.' -- Simon Schama
