“Call girls” is by no means what the first association suggests: this is the joking nickname given to a group of scientists wandering from congress to congress, but, as you know, there is some truth in every joke... This novel, named by the author “a tragicomedy with a prologue and epilogue” - in fact, a philosophical triptych parable, where the first and last parts (“Misunderstanding” and “Chimeras”), seemingly in no way connected with the second, main part, or with each other, create an exquisite framing, placing all the necessary accents.
