Moscow Gambit. Mamleev Yu.

Yuri Mamleev - the ancestor and recognized master of the genre of metaphysical realism. His prose is an amazing alloy of grotesque and deep philosophical, shocking texts with elements of mysticism. His world is grotesque and fantastic, populated by strange and terrible people. “Life is a mockery of the sky above the ground,” the writer himself said.

“The Moscow Gambit” was written in exile and tells about the real events of the 1960-1970s. This is a novel about the underground unofficial culture - the legendary Yuzhin circle and some other centers of Moscow literature and metaphysics of that time. A novel about time and about yourself, as well as people who, contrary to official ideology, strove for the prohibitive and endless.
