Oscar

Oskar’s name came to replace his old one, so he could forget the past and start a new life from a blank slate—maybe from a dirty one, and from the very bottom, but certainly a different one, and perhaps not life at all, but just survival. A former businessman turned into Gorilla’s errand boy, and later a killer and the right-hand man carrying out various combat assignments. The heart hardened; now it was driven only by profit and satisfaction of base needs. “Oskar is a brain-squeezing, unreal, sometimes funny, sometimes scary, and in places sad piece of work,” — the quote author Ivan Mitryaykin, one of the founders of the literary agency Kрупный шрифт Ъ. Beware: the book contains cruelty and multiple scenes of violence. For the faint-hearted and impressionable, please keep your distance. Contains profanity.
