The book ‘Maya Pill’ is written by German Sadulaev. A bitingly funny twenty-first-century satire, ‘The Maya Pill’ tells the story of a mid-level manager at a frozen-food import company who comes upon a box of psychotropic pills that’s accidentally been slipped into a shipment. The story is set in a phantasmagorical and violent Russia, this novel is strange, savage, bizarre, and boisterous.
