<p>Written in an incantatory style, the novel traverses the entire history of Russia, from its violent conversion to Christianity on to the 21st century where people are segregated according to blood type. "It’s true hero is its language, which, even in translation … achieves in places a poetic intensity and a musicality that are mesmerizing."—<i>New York Times Book Review</i></p>

An anti-utopian novel about a society where success depends on the degree of a person’s likeness to the Model Face. Changing from time to time, the Model Face overturns the entire social structure. Latynin’s novel predicted the Gorbachev era and subsequent social turmoil. Throughout, Latynin demonstrates a faithfulness to high moral ideas despite the cruel society he depicts. “One of the most original of the post-realists of Russian Literature since the mid-1980s.”—Claude Frioux, Flammarion.
