Какой кошмар. Оторваться от книги совершенно невозможно, прочитала за вечер. Но какой кошмар. Абсолютная душераздирающая беспросветность.

The Information is a first-person narrative told by yet another Russian Nameless Guy antihero: this guy's life goes from bad to worse when he finds out, by snooping on his wife's phone, that his wife is having an affair.
