A Russian cyberthriller set in a capitalist dystopia of the ex-USSR, in the hard-edge tradition of American Psycho and Fight Club.
Born in 1975, Alexander Garros and Aleksei Evdokimov both work as journalists in Riga, Latvia. Friends since school, they decided to write a novel together. The result was Headcrusher, which went on to win the prestigious Russian Literary National Bestseller Prize in 2003.
A mordantly satirical assault on capitalism...this novel has
moments of manic excellence
*The Times*
A brilliant piece of writing. Garros-Evdokimov achieve this
particular mixture of disgust and lucid observation of bodily
functions with the slightly ironic, distanced narrator that we
associate more with American fiction or film (Tarantino, or even
Updike) than with Russian prose tradition
*Daily Telegraph*
A clear winner
*Bookseller*
A fine debut novel. A corking good read
*Lads Mag*
