I Am a Chechen!
German Sadulaev. Harvill Secker
A collection of novellas about what it is like to be a Chechen. German Sadulaev (born 1973) was born in the town of Shali to a Chechen father and a Russian mother and now lives in St Petersburg. There are two distinct directions in his work that could be figuratively termed as the “mountain theme” and the “city theme”.
The first is far more interesting, in particular, his books I Am a Chechen! and The Raid on Shali. Sadulaev is second to none on this topic; there are very few who would dare to write about the Chechens on behalf of the Chechens themselves.
