A gruff, amoral Red Army veteran
looks back on the time he spent in a Russian gulag and the damage it did
to his life and that of his gentler, more delicate brother Lev. A
supreme stylist and black comedian, with a gift for philosophizing about
brute physical violence, Amis loves rolling around in the bitter, angry
mud of men at their worst.
