The book presents a collection of Tatyana Tolstoy's prose: the essay “Zverotour”, more than twenty short stories and the novel “Kys”, for which the author was awarded the Triumph Prize. “Kys” is a current dystopia, a terrible and beautiful tale about the death of our civilization, about mutated townspeople running wild in radioactive forests, but most importantly - about the degradation of a language that is still recognizable, but already poorly understood.
