Beschreibung:
Nicolai Lilin grew up in Transnistria, which declared its independence from Russia in 1990 but has never been recognized as a state. His previous book, Siberian Education, was also a bestseller in Europe and has been made into a movie with John Malkovich. Lilin lives in Milan, where he has founded an art gallery called Kolima Contemporary Culture.
In a contested, lawlessregion between Moldova and Ukraine known as Transnistria, a tightly knit groupof "honest criminals" live according to strict codes of ritualized respect andfierce loyalty. In a voice utterly compelling and unforgettable, Nicolai Lilin,born and raised within this exotic subculture, tells the story of his moraleducation outside the bounds of "society" as we know it, where men upholdvalues with passion-and often by brute force.
