The one who sheltered the frog is extraordinary! Yes, yes, the main character of the exquisite and filigree fairy tale by the outstanding American postmodernist of the 20th century John Hawkes has a frog named Armand settled in his stomach - not a metaphor, not an allegory or a symbol. An absolutely real and living amphibian, which also has an insatiable curiosity, a nasty character and an extraordinary sexual appetite. A small masterpiece of modern literature - John Hawkes's novel "The Frog" - for the first time in Russian.
