Nikolai Konyaev’s new book includes two novels and a short story. Their action takes place in a small town - a suburb of a huge industrial and cultural center, on the outskirts of a factory... The heroes are faced with those stagnant and pre-crisis phenomena of our life in the late seventies and early eighties, which had such a detrimental effect not only on the state of our economy, but also on public consciousness ; are trying to overcome the “outskirts” of their worldview.
