Press play to discover the nuances of its unusual title, to enter the book’s uncanny world, and also to hear me read out the opening chapter.
Have you read it? Or have you read any of Kurkov’s other books? What did you think? Leave me a comment!

loved this book. The constant feeling that something is just not alright with Viktor's job, his relationship with the penguin, everything is so lovely and amazing. Also loved the rhythm and the pace, it goes pretty fast and it keeps you wanting to read more and more.

It’s so good isn’t it! I keep thinking about how the title in a different language (I think German but I could have misremembered) translates to: picnic on the ice - it gives it such a different feel, but still so apt. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for sharing your thoughts.
