“The Dream Life of Sukhanov” is
Olga Grushin’s debut novel. This is the publisher’s description: “A brilliantly crafted novel about one man's betrayal of his
talent, his friends, and his principles-a work of demon energy, startling
imagery, and utter originality.
At fifty-six, Anatoly Sukhanov has everything a man could want. Nearly twenty-five
years ago, he traded his precarious existence as a brilliant underground artist
for the perks and comforts of a high-ranking Soviet apparatchik. Once he
created art; now he censors it. His past is a shadow, repressed to the point of
nonexistence. But a series of increasingly bizarre events transforms his
perfect world into a nightmare. Buried dreams return to haunt him, his life
begins to unravel, new political alignments in the Kremlin threaten to undo
him, and little by little, he finds himself losing everything he sold his soul
to gain.
Told in dream sequences that may be true, in real time that may be nightmares,
in shifting time frames and voices, Olga Grushin's novel is a highly
sophisticated, often surreal exploration of self-dissolution, faithlessness,
and transformation.”
