Gnome Pit

Mikhail Quadratov, one of the most peculiar poets of today"s Russia known for a long time. It seemed to many that his poems in which wonderful creatures would make wonderful deeds, were separated by an irresistible moat from the surrounding reality. Having written your first novel, this ditch squeezed selflessly, supplied his poetic archipelago to a clear coordinate grid. This is an affautionary, proteic, turning around the treatise, then a guide, then a catalog, then a cosmogonical legend. Gnome Yama is the dwelling of Dwarves, Dwarves, Dwarfs - Earthhood Agents, and Moscow nineties, where Russian boys and Russian uncle, being on the ruins of the old life, wandered in Brownovsky, Round and forth with business somnambles, shipped, Tuskali, recalculated and rewritten the goods attached to them. The portrait of this era performed by Kvadratov simultaneously and recognizable, and unusual, which makes it particularly convincing. The stubborn searches of the meaning in this exemplary despicable existence of the author and his hero into the world of alchemical elementals and the Thro-Finnish gods are sent, send the reader in the footsteps of the Warlocks of the Petrovskaya era and security officers. But the main playground on which the book is happening, tesne, is clearly defined and meticulously discharged. This is a red gate, bass streets, garden Bauman, Jauza, German Sloboda. On this site, the author creates a new fascinating Moscow myth, a story about life that gets frightened in the ground and at the same time trembles on the wings of the butterfly
