The three novellas ofFarewell, Aylis take place over decades of
transition in a country that rather resembles modern-day
Azerbaijan. In Yemen, a Soviet traveler takes an afternoon stroll
and finds himself suspected of defecting to America. In Stone
Dreams, an actor explores the limits of one man's ability to live a
moral life amid conditions of sociopolitical upheaval, ethnic
cleansing, and petty professional intrigue. In A Fantastical
Traffic Jam, those who serve the aging leader of a corrupt,
oil-rich country scheme to stay alive. Farewell, Aylis, a new essay
by the author that reflects on the political firestorm surrounding
these novellas and his current situation as a prisoner of
conscience in Azerbaijan, was commissioned especially for this
Academic Studies Press edition.
