About the book: year / Collection of stories by Yu. Mamleev, grouped into cycles. Yuri Mamleev is the founder of the genre of metaphysical realism, the founder of the literary and philosophical school. The ultimate task of metaphysics is to reveal the inner abysses that lurk in the human soul. The most aphoristic definition of Mamleev’s prose is Literature of the End of the World. Life is quite nightmarish: it is short... Real literature has a cathartic effect, its outcome is a mysterious purification, even if life is described in it as dirt.
