Description

Maria Galina’s new novel takes place in an old city—an unusual cultural capital of the borderlands that connects (and at the same time separates) Eastern and Western Europe. A hero arriving from afar tries to restore the history of a very strange production—judging by the muffled mentions of memoirists—of the opera “The Death of Petronius.” Going back to a long-forgotten episode of the 1920s, the hero plunges deeper and deeper into the city’s present-day life and its artistic circles. And the closer he gets to the solution, the more actively the City and its mysterious inhabitants respond to his investigation.
