About the Author
Michael Honig is a former surgeon and lives in England. This is his first novel.
Review
“Refreshing. The Senility of Vladimir P. makes for an essential entry in the field. Honig is an adroit plotter [and] full of humor. This is an author who understands the grotesque reality of a place where the honest man is the coward. Page-turning.”
- New York Times Book Review
“Honig’s study of what remains of a person once time takes its toll on the body and mind is a stunning take on the development of the corrupt and the corrupted. A surprisingly touching investigation of motive, duty, and greed. ”
- Kirkus Reviews
“A scathing, dexterous debut. In a novel reminiscent of the meticulous visual art of a Robert Altman ensemble film, Honig showcases a keen eye for characters and set pieces and a pitch-perfect ear for satire. The flawed, naive Sheremetev, caught in the push and pull of his own outmoded beliefs, is at the center of this scintillating work of social commentary.”
- Publishers Weekly
“A scathing satire. The Senility of Vladimir P. is a clear attack on the corruption and greed of Putin's Russia and a sharp reminder of how authoritarian rule can infect a generation.”
- The Independent
“Amid its screwball rage this very funny book is also an unexpectedly touching one.”
- The Spectator
“Blackly comic. A novel about an innocent who learns too late that when a country goes to the dogs, so, all too often, do its people.”
- The Daily Mail
“A whip-smart parody starring Putin. Ingenious.”
- BookPage
“A story worth telling. Many of the events described are happening now and often not very far away.”
- The Guardian
“Honig contrasts his protagonist’s principled kindness with a society in which corruption is ubiquitous, perhaps unavoidable. Priceless moments––Vladimir suddenly strips off his shirt, assuming photographers are present―amplify the seriousness of Honig’s indictment of the present-day Putin administration, and those who empower it by looking away.”

Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Wilmington, DE, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. As a former president of Russia loses his marbles, those around him get down to losing their morals.Former Russian president, Vladimir P, is going senile, marooned in a world of memories from his years in power. To get him out of the way, he has been exiled to his luxury dacha, where he is served by a coterie of bickering house staff. Only Sheremetev, the guileless nurse charged with Vladimir's round-the-clock care, is unaware that everyone else is busily using every means at their disposal to skim money from their employer's inexhaustible riches. But when the nurse suddenly needs to find cash for a bribe or see his nephew rot in jail, the dacha's chef lets him in on the secret world of 'commissions' going on all around him. Yet surely Sheremetev wouldn't think to steal from his ailing patient? And surely, in the upstanding modern Russia that Vladimir P created, no one would actually let him. Ferociously readable and very, very funny, The Senility of Vladimir P is a vodka-soaked tragicomedy of bribes, backhanders and an elderly Vladimir Putin going catastrophically awry.
