Bare brains, tiles

In the new book, the famous prose writer and mediacritic Andrei Levkin - author of the novels "Mozgva", "from Chicago", "Vienna, the operating system" - continues to explore the life of a person in the modern city, whether it be Moscow, Kaunas, St. Petersburg or Manchester. Combining writer and philosophical optics, the author notes difficult changes in the habits and moods of citizens of the 21st century. The barely noticeable events of everyday life - a trip on the bus, a leisurely lunch in a cafe, observation of strangers - in the prose of Levkin become a reason for mental travels that reveal the diversity of the modern world. The whimsical composition of the book, inspired by a variety of music (from Bach to Bauhaus), allows the author to be present at once in several geographical points, showing the world of artistic imagination not constrained by any framework
