Mevlido''s Dreams - A Post-Exotic Novel

"A double agent working for the police and living in the last habitable city on the planet, Mevlido clings to life and hope in the city's vast slums, dreaming of a mysterious mission he is told he must accomplish. A key work in Antoine Volodine's post-exotic fictional universe, Mevlido's Dreams envisions a world changed beyond recognition and ruled under irrational authoritarianism in which dreams nest within dreams and the boundaries between life and death are fluid and uncertain."--
