Yesterday I graduated as a philologist and a young officer. Today I am a witness to a closed political process. Tomorrow he will be sent to a disciplinary battalion in the Urals for two years, but not as a prisoner, but as an investigator. In the morning, he is a lieutenant investigating the strangest cases, and at night he tries to solve the most mysterious artist Hieronymus Bosch, becoming an accomplice to his paintings and his life. Anatoly Korolev's grotesque, fascinating, largely autobiographical novel, written in blood and laughter, first waited 30 years for its birth, and then another 20 years for republication. In 2004, the novel received the Znamya magazine award, and in 2006 it was awarded the Apollon Grigoriev ARSS (Association of Russian Modern Literature) Award, the Moscow Government Prize, and was shortlisted for the Big Book Award. The publication includes sketches of tattoos of imprisoned soldiers from the author's personal collection. . . . read more.
