Before you is the continuation of Pavel Sanaev’s cult story “Bury me behind the baseboard.” The hero of “Plinth” has grown up, he is nineteen years old, and everyone calls him Razdolbay. Torn apart by conflicting desires and aspirations, now subject to the influence of others, now defending his beliefs, Razdolbay will learn about life by trial and error. Prostitutes and sex, freedom, impunity and rebellion - on the one hand; one and only beloved girl, educated friends and faith in God on the other. Probably the most attractive thing in Pavel Sanaev’s new novel is the extreme sincerity of the protagonist. He will share with us those thoughts and feelings that we are afraid to admit to ourselves.
