Sasha Krugosvetov again pleased his fans with a new book. Now this is a collection of journalistic essays “Birds”. Although this is not entirely journalism. I would say that Krugosvetov discovered a new genre that can be called “metaphorical journalism.” He allows him to permeate his text with hundreds of allusions, and even the title quoting Aristophanes is no longer so much a title as part of a genre game. Krugosvetov was initially a free person; he followed his own path into literature, built on experience and observations, and not on excessive exercise. This freedom is felt on every page of the book, it is in its construction, in the combination of themes, in the freedom of expression, if you like.
