Василий Аксенов. Новый сладостный стиль

New, first published novel by Vasily Aksenov. The protagonist of the book, theater director, actor and bard Alexander Korbakh, in whom the features of Andrei Tarkovsky, Vladimir Vysotsky and the author himself are guessed, was expelled from the Soviet Union in the early eighties and forced to wander around America, where he experiences the usual tests for an emigrant - the absence language, lack of money, job search. Emigrant life confronts him with many people, elevates him to success and throws him into the abyss of failure, shakes him around the world. This is a book about Russia and America, about the interweaving of human destinies, about the memory of generations, about the search for oneself, about the origin of man - not from a monkey, but from God. And it's also a book about love.
