Journey To Karabakh by Aka Morchiladze

A darkly comic, fast-paced road novel set amid the collapse of the Soviet Union, following a young Georgian whose ill-planned journey to the Nagorno-Karabakh war zone spirals into chaos and unexpected encounters. Through episodes of black humor, danger and human tenderness, the trip becomes a rite of passage that exposes the absurdity of war, the dislocation of post-Soviet life, and the fragile ties of friendship and identity.
