Description

Ilya Kochergin was born in Moscow in 1970, studied at the Institute of Asian and African Countries, graduated from the Literary Institute, worked as a forester in the Altai Nature Reserve, and now lives in Ryazan Oblast. Author of books “The Helper of a Chinese Man,” “Me, Your Grandson,” “The Assembly Point,” “Ich Liebe Dich,” and “Appropriation of Space.” Laureate of the magazines “Znamya,” “New World,” and “October.”

Once—go and move away with your beloved into the deepest wilderness, build a house with your own hands, take along an old horse to live out its remaining days. Outside the window, winter replaces summer, the COVID epidemic begins and ends, and 2022 comes and goes—while Fenya, the horse rescued from slaughter, gradually becomes the center of a small universe and helps find that very escape route.

“‘This is real lyrical prose, which at times turns into a screenplay for the author’s own film, filled with images, flashbacks, and unfamiliar close-up shots.’” (“New World”)
