Fiction. STET tells the life story of Stet, a filmmaker from Soviet
Leningrad, who is sent for his artistic crimes to a prison camp in
the 1960's, and dies there without having produced much more than a
single film. Narrated in an extravagant third-person voice that
emulates the sound and attitude of the classic "Russian
Novel,"--opinionated, discursive, soulful--the novel depicts the
fate of the artist, or of the individual, in any society. It
imagines a world where we do not live by our judgments of others,
nor by our fear of what other people think of us. "Fascinating,
gorgeous...in a dense, imagistic style reminiscent of Michael
Ondaatje or Gyorgy Konrad... For the uncommon reader..."--King's
English.
