"The Vaginov Room" combines a mystical thriller and black comedy, set in a communal apartment in St. Petersburg. Young philologist Senya decides to move into an apartment on the Griboedov Canal embankment, the very one where the writer Konstantin Vaginov lived, in order to write his biography. His neighbors turn out to be very strange characters: a semi-mad lonely poet, a girl who runs a blog about her raccoon, an Italian alcoholic, and a detached lover of ancient philosophy. Behind the door of one of the rooms, someone is forcibly holding a girl. Will she be able to break free?
The new book by Anton Sekisov ("Blood and Soil", "God of Anxiety", "Rest Zones") belongs to the "St. Petersburg text". Its characters inevitably experience the influence of the spirit of the place - a space where everything that happens is already predetermined, permeated with absurdity, and the line between reality and hallucination is blurred. The text of "The Vaginov Room" is philological and filled with numerous allusions and references to Vaginov's own novels. But even a reader unfamiliar with his work will appreciate the masterfully crafted plot that keeps you in suspense until the very end, and the author's style, full of irony and satire.
