Description: The Tsar of Love and Techno begins in 1930s Leningrad, where a failed portrait artist is tasked by Soviet censors to erase political dissenters from official images and artworks. One day, he receives an antique painting of a dacha inside a box of images meant to be altered. The mystery behind this painting reverberates through the stories that follow, which take us through a century as they thread together a cast of characters including a Siberian beauty queen, a young soldier in the battlefields of Chechnya, the Head of the Grozny Tourist Bureau, a ballerina performing for the camp director of a gulag and many others. Praise for A Constellation of Vital Phenomena: 'Storytelling of magical purity, illuminated by hope...Marra is a magnificent writer.' (The Times). 'Extraordinary...a 21st-century War and Peace.' (New York Times Book Review). 'An absolute masterpiece.' (Sarah Jessica Parker, Entertainment Weekly).
