Radio Nich

As in “real action,” another revolution has suffered defeats. Perhaps, to the one who lost her mysterious leader. Yosip Rotsky (not to be confused with either Yosif Brodsky or Joseph Roth), the musical hero of the barricades, the confusion wants to run away, trying to bear the share of the rich other Yosips. They will re-investigate you, and the regime’s special services will only kill you. Love is still incomprehensible, because you can’t conquer it, and the bank’s secret place, because you can’t get into it. A compelling evidence and an incredibly successful terrorist attack. And also intelligence and oblivion, laughter and gloom, cold and heat, irony and well-being. The rest of the gatherings and surveys are allowed to be conducted on a nightly basis. Who really is the rest?.. “Radio Nich” is the most action-packed, and at the same time the most lyrical work of Yuri Andrukhovich. There is space for someone whose adventurous novel meets fantasy, and David Bovi with the mandarin musicians of the Middle East.
