Description
The novel takes place at an indefinite time in a country resembling Russia. In a fortress, a prisoner named Cincinnatus C. awaits death on the scaffold. He has been sentenced for a crime defined as “epistemological wickedness.” The execution date is close, but not precisely set. In his painful waiting, Cincinnatus indulges in memories and ponders the reality surrounding him, while reality itself gradually turns into a surreal nightmare.
