Several odd characters meet up in a grotty old London gym only to discover that their mutual pasts are intricately linked to Artek, an international Young Pioneer camp in Crimea, where an army of instructors and Party propagandists used to brainwash children into believing in a Communist Paradise on earth. Sim Golos, an eccentric Russian refugee in London, spent years of his abused Soviet childhood in Artek. Meanwhile, a dubious British businessman Archibald Wren, appointed as Sim’s guardian, manipulates the lives and minds of Sim and his London friends. Making use of intimidation and blackmail, he is able to convince them all that they are potential victims of a sinister scientific experiment in which sound is being transformed into flesh. Zinik’s new comic novel incorporates a surreal Soviet family saga of abuse and corruption into the parallel world of modern London. It is a hot mixture of a Gothic horror story and an intellectual burlesque, of a political history and personal testimony.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
