'Sometimes I ask myself, why do I need an external figure to write: mother, father, Svetlana. Why can't I write about myself? Because I am the foundation of the reflecting surface of the mirror. Metallic coating. You can stare at the back side of the mirror for a long time and see nothing but fine sparkling dust. I reflect reality.' Oksana Vasyakina concludes the autofiction trilogy, started with the books 'Wound' and 'Steppe', with a novel in which she tries to unravel the mystery of her aunt Svetlana's short, almost weightless life. From small fragments of memory, a complex image emerges, in which difficult relationships with her mother, domestic disarray, and indifference to her own fate coexist with almost childlike vulnerability and purity. But the further the heroine delves into the story of Svetlana, the more she realizes the inseparable connection with her and the more she learns about herself and the nature of her writing. Oksana Vasyakina is a writer, winner of the 'Lyceum' (2019) and 'NOS' (2021) awards.
