Description
The Zoo by Christopher Wilson is a biting satire that follows Yuri Zipit as he navigates the complexities of Soviet politics. As official food-taster to the leader, Yuri witnesses firsthand the betrayals, buffoonery and deceit that underpin the regime. Through Yuri's eyes, we see a world where loyalty is tested and hope is hard to find. But despite the odds against him, Yuri refuses to give up, using his wits to uncover the truth behind the Soviet Union's inner workings. This cutting satire is told with refreshing honesty and humour, offering a unique perspective on one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history.
