Bychkov A. Nakonec-to ne konec

Author Bychkov A.
Title Nakonec-to ne konec
Description Andrei Bychkov’s new book “At Last, Not the End” brings together short stories, a play and a “romanella”, a genre defined by the author through his own neologism. The individual texts form a strange intellectual dystopia in which everyday reality repeatedly slips into grotesque, mysticism, philosophical parable and literary experiment. Its plots include a traffic policeman who literally rids the world of “superfluous” people, the wanderings of a seeker of mystical and erotic experience, and psychedelic meta-cinema involving a train rushing out of the screen towards the impossible land of Zayauzye. The book culminates in a new version of “Antigone”, in which fragments of ancient Greek tragedy meet Hindu mythology, modern physics and Tantric imagery.

Bychkov consistently dismantles conventional rules of plot and genre: characters, ideas and cultural codes collide to create a vision of the contemporary world that is simultaneously comic, disturbing and fundamentally unpredictable.
