Eduard Limonov. The Young Scoundrel

The teenager Savenko has grown up: from a street urchin, he's transformed into a bohemian youth, still living the high life, but now in a different way. This nostalgic novel from the "Kharkiv trilogy" about the 1960s follows a poet with a gangster past who painfully and consistently searches for love and himself, balancing between life and death, "normality" and madness.
