Unknown syndrome. Stories. Shklovsky E.

Human relationships are always a mystery, even when they seem simple and transparent. It is they who find themselves in the focus of the art world E. Shklovsky, which combines asceticism in the choice of expressive means with deep psychologism. Irony, grotesque, lyrics, and sometimes science fiction give the author the opportunity to expose the sick nerve in the most ordinary and inconspicuous conflicts, reveal their dramatic, and sometimes tragic core. Putting the heroes on the brink of the unknown and forcing him to look into himself, the author asks with them uncomfortable questions, and sometimes only carefully hints at them, not giving answers.

The book also includes the cycle “On the Writers”, which includes stories about Babel, Dostoevsky, Chekhov. Evgeny Shklovsky is the author of the books of prose “Testing”, “Hotages”, “The Country”, “Fata-Morgan”, “Aquarium”, “Omega Point” and numerous publications in periodicals.
