A middle-aged fiction writer who wrote novels in which she herself was the main character at different ages, now suffers from... remorse for the imperfections of her own heroines. She is not like the people around her, she is haunted by visions from the past - her heroines come to life and “do not let her live.” And only outside intervention—the mystical White Janitor, half-man, half-angel—can snatch her from the clutches of the deepest crisis and inevitable death. Tale by M.F. Veselova's "GOGOLIAD" continues the best traditions of the psychological novel by such authors as R. Bach with "The Seagull named D. Livingston", G. Hesse with the novel "Steppenwolf" and many other greatest creators of the last century. Knowledge of the psychology of a creative person, like a magnifying glass, highlights our fears, doubts and indecision, helping us to move on and offering a way out.
