In this offbeat thriller set in pandemic-era Eastern Europe, a musician is forced to flee from fascist operatives--a story that is as much a classic escape caper as it is a chilling indictment of modern-day authoritarianism. Winner of the Heinrich Heine Prize Yuri Andrukhovych is the master stylist of contemporary Ukrainian literature, and his Radio Night is the story of Yosyp Rotsky, a legendary pianist who played at the barricades when revolution rocked his long-oppressed country, and whose life in exile is jeopardized when he is implicated in the death of the dictator of his country. The shady Regime and the insatiable Mob want his head, and Rotsky and his pal, the wise raven Edgar, are on the run, traversing updated mazes from the bad old days while doing their best to maneuver through today's social media-saturated world. Meanwhile, Rotsky's buddy, the mysterious Servus, keeps rolling up at the most (in)opportune times. Radio Night explores a world in upheaval, reverberating between rebirth and apocalypse, loyalty and betrayal, heaven and hell. It is a wild performance, steeped from beginning to end in music. It even comes with a playlist.
