Told with Gran's signature verve and irony, it's set against a rollicking panorama of daily life in the USSR. An honour and delight for this translator to bring his debut into English, and his father's legacy to a new generation of readers.

Brimming with excitement! Tomorrow is UK pub day for THE COMPETENT AUTHORITY, Iegor Gran's novel about his father, the dissident Andrei Sinyavsky, whose notorious trial in 1966, for the contents of hid literary works published abroad under a pseudonym, marked the end of the Thaw.
