Penguin Lost
Andrey Kurkov
A darkly comic and off beat journey, following the hero's attempt
to find his penguin again – the hero was last seen at the
end of Death and the Penguin flying to Antartica to escape the
mafia, in a seat booked for the penguin. In this book he returns
and his adventures take him to Chechnya, amongst other places,
where he is conscripted to work in an ad hoc crematorium.
Seán really enjoyed this book, it's black and satirical
and quick to read. Recommended.
