Marina Vishnevetskaya’s new book is a collection of old and new stories and parables collected in the cycles “Experiments” and “On the Nature of Things.” Critics call these texts a recipe for total indifference, they are surprised at the harmonious combination of high poetry with blatant vernacular, and note their human sensitivity and aesthetic freedom.M. Vishnevetskaya is a laureate of the I.P. Belkin Prize for the best story of the year.
