"Set in the real world of art in Canterbury in the year of the earthquake, this work of fiction centres around Gregor, a refugee from Belarus, and his New Zealand friend Sambo, who meet every Tuesday at the Arts Centre cafe to exchange views on art's purpose. In Belarus, art and theatre are heavily constrained by the dictatorship, and Gregor has moved to Aotearoa to find freedom to express himself, and critique the regime of Lukashenka from a distance. By the end of the book he is disillusioned. 'At least in Belarus I know very clearly who the enemy is." -- Back cover.
