Iskander, Fazil Abdulovich - MSN Encarta (109 words)
Fazil Abdulovich Iskander, (1929–), satirical writer from the country of Georgia.
He attracted attention with Sozvezdie kozlotura (1966, translated into English as Goatibex Constellation), a satire on the bureaucratic control of agriculture.
Sandro iz Chegema (1973, translated as Sandro of Chegem) sardonically explores the authoritarian politics of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (which Georgia was part of until the USSR collapsed in 1991) and the cultural contrast between the distinctive traditions of Iskander’s native region of Abkhazia (now an autonomous republic) and Soviet influences.
