Vasily Krymov is a first-generation Russian immigrant living in
Youngstown, Ohio. He drinks coffee at the Waffle House. He drinks
rum in seedy strip clubs. He washes dishes at a steakhouse for
minimum wage. Through all of it, he thinks of suicide, envisioning
grand escapes from his own personal hell.
When he discovers a pill bottle full of Oxycontin in the
restroom of a bar, Vasily thinks he has found his escape. He and
his best friend devise a plant to sell the pills to raise enough
money to head out west and escape the squalid streets of Youngstown
forever. But for a man like Vasily, escaping one hell only means
finding another.
A bleak, comedic masterpiece of down-and-outers in decaying
America, "The Insurgent" is Noah Cicero at his minimalistic best.
"The Collected Works of Noah Cicero Vol. 2" also features three of
Noah Cicero's most acclaimed short stories: "Two Old Lovers Bring
Out Their Guns," "Visiting My Sister," and "Two Hard Workers."
