Description

This collection plunges readers into the surreal landscapes of Soviet Moscow in the 1920s, featuring seven tales deemed too daring for their time. Krzhizhanovsky masterfully weaves black humor and biting irony through stories of existential disorientation, where rooms become infinite voids and iconic landmarks run wild. Explore themes of societal absurdity, the nature of reality, and the chilling prospect of a future where logic itself is a commodity. These unforgettable narratives showcase a unique literary voice, offering a darkly comic and profoundly imaginative glimpse into the human condition.
