This is a fractal novel. That is, a kaleidoscope novel, every detail of which has its own human story. All of them, like pieces of a puzzle, come together into one picture - bizarre, but recognizable. Each private fate, in turn, is like a whole novel - very short, but no less capacious. Some stories cause laughter, others - genuine horror, however, this also happens in our everyday life. All together, these stories form a symphony not of one hospital room, but of Russian history with its sometimes frightening and paradoxical everyday life. The novel intertwines family legends and tales of the present time. He speaks, and you just need to listen to him and remember. What is this about? About us all.
