Description A "war novel" without battle scenes. A cynical journalist drifting through a war-torn Georgia, and a consumerist wasteland.
War is raging in Georgia, Russian fighter planes are thundering overhead, and yet, for some, the falling bombs cause no more impact than the slight ripple moving through the purified water of their swimming pools, or the rattling of a spoon in their cappuccino cups. Filtered through the bleary and cynical mind of Shako--a journalist famed for his appearance in Georgian Pepsi ads--Adibas is a tragic satire describing the progressive falsification of his life, invaded by consumer goods, consumer sex, consumer carnage. A "war novel" without a single battle scene, Zaza Burchuladze's English-language debut anatomizes the Western world's ongoing "feast in the time of plague."
Zaza Burchuladze was born in Tiflis in 1973. He is a novelist, screenwriter, actor, and translator, beinging many Russian authors into Georgian, including Dostoevsky, Sorokin and Bitov. Long ignored by critics because of his shocking subject matter and experiments with language, Burchuladze is now considered one of the most important writers of post-Soviet Georgian literature. Guram Sanikidze is a translator based in Georgia.
