Ksenia Buksha's new novel is based on factual material, but it has nothing in common with realism (both old and new). The outdated form of the industrial novel in the hands of a modern writer has been completely updated, and each of the forty chapters of the book is written stylistically separately, which creates the effect of a multi-layered text. Additional structural load is carried by the author's illustrations. With all this, the book turned out to be extremely lively and fascinating, deep and honest.
