A great Russian novelin the grand Russian tradition.Le FigaroRussian Gothic, a short and intense novel by Belgium-based Belorussian novelist Aleksandr Skorobogatov that, since its initial publication in Russia in 1991, has gone on to sell over a million copies worldwide and hailed as an early masterpiece of post-Soviet literature, eliciting comparisons to Gogol and Bulgakov.Russian Gothicis a dark tale of the descent into paranoia and violence of Nikolai, a veteran of the Soviet-Afghan war. When a mysterious figure, Sergeant Bertrand, appears on his doorstep and starts insinuating that Nikolais wife, Vera, may be having an affair, Nikolais faith in his wife, the only person to stand by him after his return to civilian life, starts to crumblewith devastating consequences.Skorobogatov, the author of five critically acclaimed novels, has been published widely in Europe, butRussian Gothicis the first of his works to be translated into English. The UK edition was recently released by Old Street, garnering truly stellar reviews, including in theTelegraph(thoroughly magnificent) andThe Sunday Times(riveting).Three decades after it was written, its complex portrait of grief, misogyny, violenceand loveis as fresh, shocking, and relevant as ever.
