Gap

What, if you admit that the pigeons read fragments of our newspapers near the metro and a book on a landfill? What are not only people, but also dogs, trees, ring fingers? Platelets? Bricks, curtains? The crust of bread in the leaky pocket of the prisoner? The platform of the station at which the living and the dead gather? If all creatures and objects in this world are watching us, master our language, understand us (and we, of course, are not) and they say? Do not believe? Everything will radically change after you cross the space of a brightly surreal - and frighteningly realistic novel by Inga K. The author creates a shocking model - no, not a conditional future (the future is a fake, according to the heroes). A wonderful and terrible model of today's evening, the maximum of tomorrow morning. When “prose” has already won “poetry” everywhere, and poetic groups, like youth subcultures, are persecuted by armed troops of the berserkers. When demonstrators are shot. When they abduct the great poet and try to forcibly turn into a literary Negro... The one who is clothed with the highest power has everything (except for talent), but dreams of the glory of the poet.

How to survive in this fierce-bright world? How to breathe? How to love and save? Read - and think for yourself.
