The Presnyakov Brothers Translated by Sasha Dugdale

Perestroika picks up the stories of Prior and Cohn from Part One: Millennium Approaches.

Prior, visited by ghosts of his ancestors and abandoned by his lover after his diagnosis with AIDS, is wondering if he is still sane when the angels select him to be their prophet.
