Context piece
- Peeter Wõrk’s novel “Alex Globin. Radio” follows the events of his earlier book, “Peninsula.”
- The protagonists build a free community, then decide that one such place is not enough and plan to share their experience worldwide.
- As support grows, so does opposition from people who want to silence the community’s voice of freedom.
What happens when one free community is no longer enough? Peeter Wõrk’s novel “Alex Globin. Radio” picks up where “Peninsula” ended and pushes its characters toward a broader ambition: sharing their experience and ideas about a free society with the entire world.
Alex, his wife Katarina and their companions have created a community that operates according to their ideals. But they soon conclude that a single free place cannot achieve everything they want. They decide to present their experience to people elsewhere and promote the principles of a free society beyond their own community.
The larger their following becomes, however, the more people emerge who want to silence the voice of freedom.
