Dmitry Deitch's new book brings together what has been written over the past ten years. Stories, novellas, parables, fairy tales and essays do not exhaust its genre diversity. “Winter in Tel Aviv” could be called the experience of a laconic epic, and “Notes on the Awakening of the Awake” - a documentary guide to the world of dreams. The cycle “Preludes and Fantasies” includes texts that are difficult to identify by genre: what they have in common is that they are all written based on musical works. The author's collection "Toys" resembles a novel of education, reimagined in the spirit of Monty Python, and "Griffith's Space" follows the tradition of short prose by Cortazar, Chevilard and Calvino. A significant part of the texts is published for the first time.
