Summary

Uzbekistan, 1916-60: A vibrant and surreal satire set in a small town on the ancient Silk Route. The town and its railway station see a plethora of characters: Mullahs, Bolsheviks, Uzbeks, Persians, Jews, Koreans, Tartars and gypsies, all in turn leaving their traces and stories, which are retold by the narrator.

Author Biography

Hamid Ismailov, regarded as a man of "unacceptably democratic tendencies" in Uzbekistan, was forced to flee his homeland, and so came to London in 1992. He was recruited by the BBC World Service to set up its Central Asia Service. He has published many books both in Russia and in Uzbekistan, but this is the first time his work has been translated into English.
