The Revenge of the Foxes
The Revenge of the Foxes | Ak Welsapar
2 posts | 1 read
Moscow, during the collapse of the Soviet system: In a hospital, young people awaiting heart operations and possible death, live just for today with mischief-making and even love affairs, under the stringent gaze of the old matron, Baba Nastya. Here one of the patients, a young Turkmen, meets a Greek Comsomol boy, a Russian Stalinist with a ‘robotic’ heart, and the lovely but tragic Mary. To whom does the future belong – to the soulless robots or the poetical souls?

Slightly disappointing. I couldn't empathise with the narrator (a good part of the novel is taken with descriptions of past and present “romantic“ encounters with women who are never fully characterised, which was rather unpleasant), and the translation was awkward.

I like a good description of the natural world.
