Description
Jimi Hendrix Live in Lviv is a love letter to the beautiful city of Lviv, western Ukraine, where the air smells salty despite being a long way from the sea. A mysterious grave in Lychakiv Cemetery sets off a chain of events that brings together an unlikely group of characters, including an ex-KGB officer and an ageing hippy, to uncover the source of the "anomalies" in the city.
Shot through with the author's unique brand of black humour and vodka-fuelled magic realism, this affectionate portrait of the world's most intriguing city is a testament to life in Ukraine before the present day. Translated from the Russian, Jimi Hendrix Live in Lviv is a fascinating and humorous tale that explores the complexities of the human experience.
With its unique blend of humour, magic realism and historical insight, Jimi Hendrix Live in Lviv is a compelling read for anyone interested in the city and its people.
