The Funeral Party

Viac o knihe

Set in August 1991, the narrative unfolds in a New York City apartment where a group of Russian emigres gathers around the dying artist Alik. As they reminisce about their lives in Russia, their conversations reveal deep emotional ties and conflicts, particularly regarding Alik's relationships and spiritual choices. The backdrop of the Yeltsin putsch in Moscow adds a layer of urgency and reflection on their past, intertwining personal struggles with the broader socio-political upheaval they left behind.
