Alexander Uvarov’s novel “Dinner in Paradise” boldly brings into the new century the centuries-old tradition of “Russian questioning”: what is God? What is heaven and hell? Why do we live? - and gives paradoxical and largely shocking answers to them. At the intersection of traditional writing and a cruel, phantasmagoric cruel plot, an intriguing narrative is born about a man broken by the horror of everyday existence, who has taken a path that blurs the fine line between martyr and torturer.
