The Wooden Village (Rivers of Babylon 2)

The Wooden Village (Rivers of Babylon 2) and The End of Freddy (Rivers of Babylon 3) are sequels to the cult novel Rivers Of Babylon (1991). Together they form a trilogy in which the thug who takes over the money-changing and prostitution rackets in a hotel transmutes into an oil oligarch. "Pišťanek’s plotting has the ingenuity of Quentin Tarantino, the irony of Evelyn Waugh and, in the later novels, an obscenity that makes Last Exit to Brooklyn seem mealy-mouthed,” to quote from his obituary by his English publisher, Donald Rayfield.
