Title: The lostness after the colapse
Review: A novel of the end of the Soviet Union----shortly after the collapse of Communism and the Berlin Wall. As Russia crumbles within and all around them, the Muslims, and the peoples of surrounding providence's and middle Asia revolt. The main character is a hedonist painter, with a small group of characters stuck in the unintentional web. We see the effects of culture and prejudice and how it determines peoples thinking.Peters is a former army officer who has toured these areas and understands the culture. He brings out the miserableness of Communism----the people----the unhappiness----the lostness----the falseness. Peters has an ability for variability in his writing, and an uncanny eye for detail. He is unique in the way he gets inside an individuals' head. I think he is one of our great versatile writers of our time. The only negative I found in this novel was some unnecessary graphic details.Wish you wellScott
