Warning Light Calling
by Peter Graarup Westergaard
Dissident Soviet literature, it feels, has been living a reclusive life away from the literary mainstream. Warning Light Calling borrows ideas from dissident Soviet literature in order understand contemporary themes and motifs as the precariat, Covid-19, East and West, capitalism, healthcare, mental issues, the individual in a globalized world and the worrying climate crisis.
It is a little treat of fine literature that attempt at leaving a bad taste in the mouth of the world reader – as it seduces her or him into following those forgotten feelings of political Soviet pathos.

Warning Light Calling is also about lost love, and it gives an accurate description of the anatomy of grief. Everything turns into madness, and the world is turned upside down because of the despair and the loneliness of the protagonist, Sputnik. We experience the Sputnik-psychosis of the Covid-19 and the precariat.
