In the first book, Winter in the Country, Azarov imagines the
enormous presence of the great poet, Pushkin, and his influence on
the development of the modern Russian psyche. In On "The Death of
Ivan Ilyich" he imagines himself exchanging personalities with
Tolstoy's great character, Ivan Ilyich, who suffered and died from
a terminal illness. In doing so, he enlarges his own personal
experience by giving the death of a close friend a mythic
dimension. In the third book, An Atomic Cake, he explores a Moscow
world of wild contradictions, surreal social hysteria, and periods
of massive malaise, all occurring under the cloud of atomic bomb
testing. This is when he met a passionate computer specialist whose
father had witnessed the American atomic testing at Bikini Atoll.
Together, trying to make sense of such a world, they talked,
imagining into existence the spirit of Rita Hayworth as she rode on
the side of the bomb in her negligee.
