Aprašymas

The three novellas of "Farewell, Aylis" take place over decades of transition in a country that rather resembles modern-day Azerbaijan. In "Yemen," a Soviet traveler takes an afternoon stroll and finds himself suspected of defecting to America. In "Stone Dreams," an actor explores the limits of one man's ability to live a moral life amid conditions of sociopolitical upheaval, ethnic cleansing, and petty professional intrigue. In "A Colossal Mess," those who serve the aging leader of a corrupt, oil-rich country scheme to stay alive. "Farewell, Aylis," a new essay by the author that reflects on the political firestorm surrounding these novellas and his current situation as a prisoner of conscience in Azerbaijan, was commissioned especially for this Academic Studies Press edition.
