Translated by Elina Alter
Otherworldly forces, dark phantasmagoria, and the horrors of underground life crossed with mythical fairytales all swirl in Alla Gorbunova's audacious and spectacular novel.
Children, students, beggars, young poets; Alla Gorbunova's heroes and heroines live their lives intensively, balancing between longing and euphoria in their lives in St. Petersburg.
But Gorbunova's stories are far from everyday life: she looks at a fragile and dangerous reality with uncompromising tenderness, above all capable of transforming her characters.
