Description

Penguin Lost is a darkly funny follow-up to the cult classic Death and the Penguin. Viktor, the protagonist, has a new identity and a chance to make amends for his past mistakes. He becomes embroiled in a Mafia boss's election campaign and sets out to find his former companion, Misha, who is being held in a private zoo in Chechnya. This is a quest and an odyssey of atonement, and for the reader, an experience that is rich, topical and illuminating.

The story is a complex and entertaining exploration of identity, loyalty and redemption. With its unique blend of humour, satire and cultural insight, Penguin Lost is a thought-provoking and engaging read.

Originally published in 2005, Penguin Lost is a new edition of a highly acclaimed novel that will appeal to fans of literary fiction and those interested in exploring the complexities of the human condition.
