Burattini. Fascism Has Passed

“It would be a mistake to perceive these texts as essays in the purest sense. What you have here are, rather, monologues of characters from an unwritten novel.

The heroes snarl and philosophize, then do some absurd, provocative, or even anti-constitutional deeds. In an ordinary novel, this is called the plot.

The book’s ‘offstage’ part is, in fact, the actions themselves. That’s why the reader is invited to carry them out independently, as they read.” Mikhail Elizarov
