This review is from: Jerusalem Commands: Between the Wars, Vol. 3: Pyat Quartet (Pyat Quartet 3) (Paperback)

The third novel of the Pyat Quartet finds Maxim Arturovitch Pyatnitski scheming his way from New York to Hollywood, Cairo to Marrakesh, from cult success to the utter limits of sexual degradation, leaving a trail of mechanical and human wreckage as he crashes towards an appointment with the worst nightmare of the twentieth century. This is the third volume in a sequence the Times Literary Supplement suggested was a modern 'Human Comedy', comparing the author with Balzac. Not a fantasy, scarcely an historical novel, in that, as with the other volumes, it moves back and forth between various periods of the real 20th century, including the present day.
