Apple in the Trunk (Яблык у валізцы) is an autobiographical novel by Uladzislaŭ Navažylaŭ (Lesley Knife), vocalist and founder of Gods Tower. Set against the turbulent backdrop of Perestroika, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the subsequent rise of dictatorship in Belarus, it follows a young man searching for himself in a world he never chose. Written with unflinching honesty, dark humour, and elements of magical realism, Apple in the Trunk captures the emotional and surrealist texture of growing up in late Soviet Belarus. Published in the original Belarusian.
