"Direct Flight to Allah" by Rene Deville and "Stephanie's Head" by Shatan Bogat - who are these people and what do these books have in common? Under these names and pseudonyms, the same novel by the great hoaxer, the famous French writer Romain Gary, was published in the United States and France. “Direct Flight to Allah,” undoubtedly inspired by another aggravation of the situation in the Persian Gulf, could be called a “satirical political thriller": terrorism and espionage, arms trafficking and the oil business, the invisible struggle of superpowers for spheres of influence, oriental exoticism in a bad and good sense - for the main character, New York fashion model Stephanie, all this is just a background for a photo shoot. But only at the beginning...The novel is published in Russian for the first time.
