There is no Moscow

In the collection of short prose by Alla Gorbunova, there really is no Moscow. There is an alien kitten, a philosophy teacher, a migrant worker, an unknown glowing substance, employees of a mobile phone store, wood goblins and kikimoras. And the idea that unites all the works in the collection is the idea of moving away from the comprehensible world to new thoughts and states, to friendship with the dissimilar and alien. It will be strange, sad and joyful. Alla Gorbunova is a poet and prose writer from St. Petersburg, winner of the Andrei Bely Prize for her book While the ABC Burns Out and the NOS Prize for her collection The End of the World, My Love.
