Eduard Limonov. The Death of Modern Heroes

The novel's hero is an American journalist who publishes a small-circulation magazine in Paris. On a whim, he and some casual acquaintances embark on an unexpected journey to Venice. Will he return alive?

The author's signature brand of outrageousness is combined in this book with lyricism and psychologism. A dynamically developing text, filled with irony, madness, and tests of the reader's endurance, rushes irresistibly toward a tragic ending like a train, in whose compartment modern heroes meet.
