A rare Georgian novel translated into English. A plot that really goes nowhere - the book is all about atmospherics and moods, which is different. It portrays the life of young people as fairly desperate and purposeless, caught between the old ways (village life, connections, "who you know") and the more anonymous modern life. Everyone is small-time on the make. The characters, the plot lines, the locations, they all come across as seedy.
