The novel “Wooden Wolves” is a work that was created at the intersection of realism and mysticism. But still, it is so grounded in the subtleties of real events that without much difficulty one can believe in the existence of an invisible wolf, on whose behalf the narrative takes place, who “guards” the main character, moving behind him in time and space. This special look from an uncertain point gives ordinary events (birth, love, death) have an inexplicable flavor - and it is no longer surprising to hear stories that after death we can see ourselves from the outside for some time and understand many things completely differently.
