A wild and brilliant tale by the winner of the Man Booker Prize and
one of our most original storytellers. On a Tuesday in
terror-struck London, Blair and Bunny Heath become the first adult
conjoined twins ever successfully separated. On a Tuesday in the
war-torn Caucasus, Ludmila Derev accidentally kills her
grandfather. By December, they find themselves trudging together
through a snow field, staring down the barrel of a rebel's gun.
Ludmila sets out on a journey west to save her family from
starvation and marauding Gnez troops. Hers is an odyssey of sour
wit, even sourer vodka, and a Soviet tractor probably running on
goat's piss. The Heath twins are released from a newly privatized
institution rumored to have been founded for an illegitimate royal
baby. They are plunged into a round-the-clock world churning with
opportunity, rowdy with the chatter of freedom, self-empowerment,
and sex. Dangerous cocktails and a Russian Brides Web site throw
these unforgettable characters together with explosive results. DBC
Pierre's second novel confirms his place in the ranks of today's
most audacious and acclaimed novelists.
