The Burn

Vasily Aksyonov

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Aksyonov's magnum opus – and quite something: shaggy, surrealist, knowingly comic, painful, and always utterly carbonated. Is there a plot here? Well, yes and no. Aksyonov offers a narrator/hero named Tolya von Steinbock – a quasi-autobiographical figure who is variously metamorphosed into a scientist, a jazz musician, a sculptor, a writer, a doctor. Through this flexible alter ego, then, Aksyonov can bring in everything – starting with memories of his own childhood in the Siberian prison-camp town of Magadan.
