According to the BBC Book of the Year competition, the novel "Voroshilovgrad" became the best book of the decade!
Road dust, rusty gas stations, tired buses, old "Khrushchevs"... A city left somewhere out of time. Strange people doing strange things. Absurdity - and at the same time the "authenticity" of existence... Herman returns to his childhood town in the steppes of Donbas to find his missing brother and save his business. However, reality turns out to be shaky, the future is uncertain, and the past causes too sharp nostalgia... A lyrical and harsh, social and metaphysical, melancholic and realistic story, full of boundless spaces, memories, dreams, reveries, jazz and the spirit of true friendship.
