About this listen

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of The Tsar of Love and Techno by Anthony Marra, read by Mark Bramhall, Beata Pozniak and Rustam Kasymov.

The Tsar of Love and Techno begins in 1930s Leningrad, where a failed portrait artist employed by Soviet censors must erase political dissenters from official images and artworks. One day he receives an antique painting of a dacha inside a box of images due to be altered. The mystery behind this painting threads together the stories that follow, which take us through a century and introduce a cast of characters including a Siberian beauty queen, a young soldier in the battlefields of Chechnya, the head of the Grozny Tourist Bureau, a ballerina performing for the camp director of a gulag and many others.

Intriguing

Sometimes I wanted more but maybe there was enough. Even now I am finished, I feel like I need time to remember it all
