Description
Alla Gorbunova was born in 1985 in Leningrad. She graduated from the philosophy faculty of St. Petersburg State University. She is a poet and author of several prose books: “Things and Noses,” “The End of the World, My Love,” and “Another Matter.” Her poetry and prose have been translated into many foreign languages. She is a laureate of the “NOS,” “Debut,” and Andrei Bely awards.
Formally, Gorbunova’s new book can be classified as diary prose. “Summer” is woven from philosophical reflections and mystical revelations, from the finest descriptions of nature and everyday life, and from profound tenderness in observations of a child’s growing up. This is a text stripped to the limit, scorching, and saturated.
Alla Gorbunova is one of the most unusual writers in the world, and the summer of 2020 was given to her for anxiety, trial, and renewal. In summer, a person is granted the chance to be alone with themselves, to be inside themselves, to see the most important dreams. To remember their childhood paradise and look at the world through their child’s eyes. To try to bring order to their relationship with mysticism and magic, to grasp the logic of chaos (though, of course, it’s impossible). To remake themselves anew by calling in rain, leaves, and will against the covid gloom. To write about it so that with the book one can live through the winter—to go on living, so there will be a new summer.
