Dystopia

"Anti -Utopia" is a unique author’s anthology collected by Vladimir Makanin from his own texts created in different periods of creativity and a man united by the theme of the fate of a person in a totalitarian society hostile to him.
In the stories and stories of anthology, Makanin appears as a conditional realist - in the manner of Viktor Pelevin, looking beyond the edge of reality, like an ancient traveler - beyond the edge of the map in search of new lands. Not fantastic, but not the truth of life. As if they opened the window on a dark night, and the confusing cold of the otherworldly penetrated under the skin.
The names of Zamyatin, Platonov, Orwell, Huxley, Ballard appear in memory immediately when reading "anti -utopia". This unusual genre book - not characteristic of Makanin - opens a new line of talent of a famous writer
