Confusion

This collection features ten stories exploring the whimsical sides of our consciousness. Through subtle, deeply psychological texts, the authors skillfully dissect various mental disorders and traumas. How to achieve healing - by running away from oneself or facing one's ghosts? Marina Vasilyeva, Mikael Desse, Irina Kostareva, Diana Lukina, Lyuba Makarevskaya, Olga Pticeva, Ekaterina Rubinskaya, Victoria Salnikova, Linda Saule, and Sasha Stepanova attempt to answer this question through their creative work. "I like the face of contemporary Russian literature: it is young, beautiful, daring, and unafraid. The collection 'Pomutnenie' brings together such diverse stories: from an artist's experiences and detective stories to a postmodern stream of consciousness." - Maria Golovey, literary editor
