Reviews"Victor Martinovich is a funny writer...the novel is as hilarious a send up of modern Belorussian tyranny as one can expect. Why is probably why the book was banned upon its release and Martinovich is now living in exile." --Russian Life, "Victor Martinovich is a funny writer . . . the novel is as hilarious a send up of modern Belorussian tyranny as one can expect. Why is probably why the book was banned upon its release and Martinovich is now living in exile." --Russian Life, "Victor Martinovich is a funny writer...the novel is as hilarious a send up of modern Belorussian tyranny as one can expect. Why is probably why the book was banned upon its release and Martinovich is now living in exile." --Russian Life, "Martinovich's debut novel conjures up 1984 's Big Brother as it tells the story of Anatoly and Elisaveta's star-crossed affair . . . A thrillingly twisted tale of a love triangle set in an all-too-plausible political nightmare." -- Kirkus "Full of passionate intelligence and incisive wit." -- Publishers Weekly "An exciting novel that is not easy to forget." -- Times Literary Supplement "Victor Martinovich is a funny writer . . . the novel is as hilarious a send up of modern Belorussian tyranny as one can expect." --Russian Life

SynopsisBanned in Belarus two days after it was published, Paranoia is a thriller, a love story, and a harrowing journey into one of the world's last closed societies. The book never mentions Belarus or its capital, Minsk, but the setting is unmistakable., Immediately banned after it was published, Paranoia is a novel about how dictatorships survive by burrowing into the minds of those they rule, sowing distrust and blurring the boundaries between the state's and the individual's autonomy. Although Minsk and Belarus are never mentioned, they are clearly the author's inspiration for the novel's setting. The plot focuses on a doomed romance between a young man whose former lover has disappeared and a young woman whose other lover is the minister of state security. The novel evokes classic dissident literature while artfully depicting the post-Soviet, globalized world.
