About the book: 2014 / Gennady Alekseev (1932–1987) - an unforgotten, but the most “little published” cult author of the mid-20th century , founder of Russian free verse, prose writer, poet, artist. The book of unpublished works includes Alekseev’s diaries and the experimental novel “The End of the World.” The novelty of the novel and its style are dazzling, although more than a quarter of a century has passed since it was written. The diaries are not only beautiful prose, but evidence of the era of the late 60s - early 70s, critical notes, and excellent sketches.
