About the book: 2008 / The first prose work of the singer and musician Olga Arefieva, leader of the group "Ark". Before us is thick phantasmagoric mystical realism, a book of images and similarities, consisting of short mystical stories, similar to beads tightly strung on a thread - rough and smooth, shiny and matte, covered with sparkles, varnish, shavings, overgrown with grass and growing wings, ghostly and devoid of a permanent shape - very different. Euphrosyne the Beautiful and the people with whom it exists under the same cover live in the honey-amber reality of non-random letters. Each sentence is associative and polysemantic, each phrase strives to become a separate story, but knows its place and honestly does its job. If you parse the book into quotes, then it’s enough to make a break after almost every sentence - and you’ll get an excellent collection of slightly out-of-this-world aphorisms.
