Radio Night

«Radio Night» is Yuriy Andrukhovych's most suspenseful and, at the same time, most lyrical work. In it, an adventure novel meets fantasy, and David Bowie meets medieval itinerant musicians, creating a unique space.
As in reality, the latest revolution fails, possibly due to the loss of its mysterious leader. Josip Rotsky, the musical idol of the barricades, is forced into hiding, repeating the fate of other exiles. Regime special services are hunting him — and that's just one of his problems. There is also an uncontrollable love and an insurmountable bank secret. He faces trials in prison and an involuntary but successful terrorist attack. All of this is set against the backdrop of a confrontation between reason and oblivion, laughter and darkness, cold and hell, irony and heartache. He finds one last refuge to host a nightly broadcast. But is it his final one?
