The Young Scoundrel: A Novel

Teenager Savenko has grown up: from a street urchin, he has become a bohemian young man who continues to burn through life, but now – differently. A nostalgic novel from the “Kharkov trilogy” about the 1960s, whose hero – a poet with a gangster past – painfully and consistently searches for his love and himself, balancing between life and death, “normality” and madness. “Everyone must search for their Eldorado until the very last day. This is human valor.”
