Title: Proof that Russians are as oversexed as we are...
Review: "The Burn" attempts to be an encompassing, surreal novel about life in Russia during the 60s and 70s, but instead, the book has a confusing narrative that muddles who is speaking. Characters that are one dimensional and are interested only in sex. Aksenov includes at least 10 graphic depictions of sex in this 528 page overblown novel. It earned 2 stars instead of one because parts were quite amusing, and told the truth, and I do give him credit for that, but I cannot give him more than that, because I did not enjoy reading this massive novel at all.
