About This Novel
"The cancer building is also called 'Building 13'." After more than ten years of military service and exile, Kostoglotov's cancer recurred, and he was admitted to the cancer building after all the hard work until he was dying. After receiving radiotherapy, his condition gradually improved, but the next course of "hormone therapy" will make him lose his sexual ability. It was during the days of treatment in the cancer building that love and desire reawakened in him. Strong lust, instinctive desire, becomes a sign of vitality. The irreconcilable contradiction between the two caused him great pain. While showing Kostoglotov's pursuit of spiritual freedom, the author also describes the different fates and experiences of him, his roommates, and attending physicians, as well as their character formation and personality distortions, such as the manipulative personnel cadre Rusanov, the young geologist Vadim, the ill-fated librarian Shulubin, the decisive and professional doctor Dontsova, and so on. In the small cancer building, everyone's fate intersects here, completing the collapse and reconstruction of souls. "Cancer Tower" is a group portrait work that condenses the good and evil of human nature, thinking about the roots of social tragedy, reflecting on the changes of the times and the writing of history.
