Description
A new novel by the bestselling author “The Heavenly Postman Fedy Bulkin,” laureate of the “Russian Booker” prize!
The novel “The Ant God: A Requiem” is a new piercing word about childhood left unprotected by sensible adults. A child—prince of summer and the sun, a god of cats and bugs—turns out to be the accused in a court of human old age.
A warm, funny story about a boy and his grandmother from “The Heavenly Postman Fedy Bulkin” unfolds differently. The novel’s language traces back to Zabolotsky and Vvedensky, the spirit to Fedor Sologub and Leonid Andreev.
Sasha Nikolaenko is a writer, an artist, author of the novels “The Heavenly Postman Fedy Bulkin” and “Kill Bobrykin” (“Russian Booker”), and of the collection “People Lived Like Always.”
My book is about personal responsibility of each: the strong—for the life of the weak; the old—for the life of the small; one person—for another.
About children’s footprints in the grass that bring death to its inhabitants. About the almost godlike power of humans over planet Earth—“almost,” because we didn’t create it.
