Description

«Холь» — новая проза Бориса Лейбова, автора «Дорогобужа» и «Мелкого принца», сборник коротких рассказов о мире после (зомби-)апокалипсиса, ожидающего человечество лет через десять: книга начинается с новостей из 2033 года и «Намедни» Леонида Парфенова о 2032-м. А значит, возможность по-новому увидеть что-то в сегодняшнем мире, посмотрев в кривое зеркало фантасмагории.

The Hollow, a new work of fiction by Boris Leibov, author of Dorogobuzh and The Little Prince, is a collection of short stories about the world after the (zombie) apocalypse awaiting humanity in ten years. The book begins with news from 2033 and an episode of Leonid Parfenov’s retro-history program “The Other Day” about 2032. The Hollow is an opportunity to see today’s world in a new light through the distorted looking glass of phantasmagoria.
