About the book: 2020 / Victor Redsky, whom no one calls by his full name yet, invents an imaginary friend for himself so as not to go crazy. He calls his friend Martin. Martin, whom no one calls Milord yet, invents a fish and a house for himself in the darkness of Vic’s consciousness in order to feel like a real person. Real people have real friends, and he introduces Vic to a girl named Risha. Risha, who still doesn’t need someone else’s name, wants to escape from her role into someone else’s - she dreams of the theater. A woman named Marie must help her. Marie wants to tell stories. She knows how to turn a childhood dream, a glowing fish and bad scenery into an ideal performance, a chamber bloody drama. An ideal performance, staged by Marie, needs a spectacular ending. An ideal performance by Marie will definitely end spectacularly. Illustrations by Irina Kvartalova and Demi Urtch.
