Description
One of Vasily Aksyonov’s best-known novels, a mischievous and brilliantly written chronicle of the fictional photo album "Say Cheese!"
…Several well-known Soviet photographers conceive something unthinkable for Soviet reality—to gather their works in one album and publish it bypassing censorship. Vigilant guardians of party ideology and the “authorities” (in the novel, “glands”) begin persecuting the “ideological saboteurs.”
Behind the captivatingly invented story of the uncensored photo album "Say Cheese!" one can discern the very real story of the famous literary almanac "Metropol," whose authors took aim at one of the regime’s cornerstones—censorship—and paid the price for it. And behind the masters of the lens, behind the heroes of the book, stand the Metropol group, well-known writers and poets, including the author of the novel himself.
