Bickford's World is one of Kurkov's early novels, in which the absurdity of everyday life is pushed to its limit. The Bickford fuse is a metaphor for the smoldering threat on which the hero's world rests.

The novel showcases Kurkov's signature style: calm narration against absurd circumstances, irony without malice, and sadness without pathos.
