About This Novel
After more than 20 years of life in the army, labor camps, and exiles, Kostoglotov contracted cancer and was finally admitted to the cancer building until he was dying. After receiving radiotherapy, his condition gradually improved. But the next course of "hormone therapy" will render him sexually incapacitated. During the years of injustice and suffering, he had forgotten about women, but when he came to the cancer building for treatment, his sexual consciousness suddenly awakened in him. Strong lust and instinctive desire became a sign of vitality. While showing his pursuit of spiritual freedom, the author also describes the different fates and experiences of Kostoglotov and his roommates, as well as their character formation and personality distortions, such as the upwardly mobile bureaucrat Rusanov, the young geologist Vadim, the female doctor Vera, and so on. "Cancer Tower" is a humanitarian work that calls for humanity. It is also a work that analyzes social "cancers", ponders the root causes of social tragedies, and reflects on the times and history.
