Mikhail Gigolashvili’s novel is a comprehensive snapshot of the reality of Georgia in the late 80s, a “requiem for a dream” in a society torn apart by the breakdown, feuds of modern feudal lords, and the games of secret tycoons. Now a person’s life is measured in grams of gold and kilograms of opiates, and the price is set by new masters - thieves in law, werewolves with and without shoulder straps, dealers, shop workers, fallen party members, corrupt officials. Everyone is caught in a sliding loop of a vicious circle, no one is innocent anymore. It doesn't matter how a person gets into this Ferris wheel, he will spin in it forever.
