«La follia e l'orrore hanno attanagliato la mia vita» scriveva Carrère presentando "Un romanzo russo" ai lettori francesi. «Di questo, e di nient'altro, parlano i miei libri». Un giorno, però, dopo aver concluso la stesura dell'"Avversario", alla follia e all'orrore decide di sfuggire. Trova un nuovo amore e accetta di realizzare un reportage su un prigioniero di guerra ungherese dimenticato per più di cinquant'anni in un ospedale psichiatrico russo. Arriva così in una cittadina a ottocento chilometri da Mosca, dove tornerà poi una seconda volta, ad aspettare, quasi in agguato, che accada qualcosa. Qualcosa accadrà: un delitto atroce. La follia e l'orrore l'hanno dunque «riagguantato». Anche nella vita amorosa: un racconto erotico scritto per gioco, per «fare irruzione nel reale», precipita lui e la sua compagna in un incubo destinato a devastare le loro vite e il loro amore. Nel frattempo, il viaggio in Russia ha messo fatalmente in gioco le sue origini e il suo rapporto con la lingua della madre – e così Carrère comincia a indagare su quello che, non solo implicitamente, gli «è stato proibito raccontare»: la storia del nonno materno, il quale, dopo un'esistenza segnata dal fallimento e dalle umiliazioni, è scomparso nell'autunno del 1944, ucciso probabilmente per aver collaborato con l'occupante. «È il segreto di mia madre, il fantasma che ossessiona la nostra famiglia». Per esorcizzare quel fantasma lo scrittore compie «un oscuro percorso nell'inconscio di due generazioni», che lo porterà alla resa dei conti con un retaggio «di paura e di vergogna» e al tempo stesso alla riconciliazione con l'incombente genitrice – e marcherà la disfatta (sia pur soltanto provvisoria) di quel nemico ghignante, crudele e mostruoso che da sempre lo assedia.

After spending years working in the corporate world, Emmanuel Carrère finally decided to pursue a lifelong passion for writing. They currently reside in a quiet suburb where they spend most of their time outlining new stories, reading extensively, and occasionally attempting to bake.
I thoroughly enjoyed the elegance of it. The protagonist was compelling, though some subplots felt slightly overshadowed. Quite impressive overall.
