“... The first main character to appear is the revolutionary leader Brissot, by no means an unknown figure. His pre-Revolutionary career is generally known through his own self-justifying memoirs, written not long before his execution.

In a tormented outburst, Satan invites sympathy for an angel excluded from Heaven until ‘Man of his own will releases and redeems’ him. Terrified by a bad conscience and wild, unnatural ...”

“... Yeltsin tried to keep up the pace of economic transformation by appointing Sergei Kiriyenko, an unknown young reformer, as Prime Minister, in place of Chernomyrdin. This made little difference. The interest rate on the bills increased from 20 per cent in the autumn of 1997 to over 40 per cent in May 1998. Wage arrears mounted in both the state and private ...”

“... elective associates of Kötting were invited to respond, to shape a portrait of this unknown (or too well-known) man. A book, In the Wake of a Deadad, would emerge. Even silence – Paul Auster, Dinos Chapman, Richard Wentworth – would be published. ‘No reply’ becomes part of the texture, along with ...”
