In Russia, activist Tania Dvorkin narrowly evades capture for producing an illegal news-sheet, her actions all the more perilous because her brother, Dimka, is an emerging star of the Communist Party.

有出版人曾指出，肯·福莱特“没有一个饱受折磨的灵魂”，他愉快地承认了，“大家都在写内心的痛苦，可我总是觉得很开心”。

他说：“很多作家只写能取悦他们自己的东西，并模模糊糊地希望这也能取悦别人。但我每写一页都在清醒地思考：读者会怎么想？读者觉得这真的会发生吗？读者关心这些吗？读者想要知道接下来会发生什么吗？我敬佩那些用文字和新奇结构进行文学实验的作家，但我从不这么玩。”

整个20世纪的吉光片羽，都被写进了这部伟大的小说里。
