История, которая не отпускает

Есть книги, которые читаешь, чтобы отвлечься. А есть те, что читаешь, чтобы вернуться к себе, к самым сложным вопросам о жизни, памяти и человечности. Триптих «Мэйхуа» — из второй категории. Это не просто три связанных микроромана и повесть, это одно большое, многослойное путешествие в самые тёмные уголки XX века, после которого вы уже не будете прежними

A Road of a Thousand Years. Part Two. Chapter One

Her parents had been expelled from the university. Their books, manuscripts, and photographs were thrown into the courtyard like trash. Her father remained silent, her mother cried at night, burying her face in her old shawl, and Mei Lin became the only one bringing any money into the house. She still worked as a translator at the factory, where everything had become mundane to her: the language, the smells, the people, even the air

A Road of a Thousand Years. Part One. Chapter Four

Mei Lin stood at the entrance to the university, next to her parents. She was pale as paper, holding her father by the hand. Her eyes were filled with horror, and she looked straight at him — with a gaze that held everything: fear, farewell, a silent question, and something resembling a reproach. In a moment, she shook her head slightly, as if wanting to say: “Don’t. Don’t follow them. Don’t become one of them.” But the words were not spoken

A Road of a Thousand Years. Part One. Chapter Three

The factory. Iron. Rust. Everything creaks, everything hums. This is not a school. There is no Pushkin, Blok, Pasternak here. His muses are not here. My muses are not here. There are only orders here. And him. Morozov. His smell — not the smell of a man, but the smell of a foreign land. USSR, the Urals. His family is there. His life. And me? My life — what is it? Books. Students. And this. This is the price. The price for the air I breathe

A Road of a Thousand Years. Part One. Chapter Two

The next day, Chen Wang did not go home. He lingered at the school gates, where the janitor was sweeping last year’s leaves and the courtyard was slowly emptying — he knew he had to wait for her. Finally, she appeared. Mei Lin came out last, in the same gray dress, clutching a small, inconspicuous handbag in her slender fingers. Her steps were light, almost noiseless, as if she were gliding rather than walking

A Road of a Thousand Years. Part One. Chapter One

Spring arrived early in Beijing that year, awakening something that had not yet fully stirred but was already preparing to spill out onto the streets. The city froze, as if lying in wait, anticipating something unknown. The school smelled of books, wet wood, and something subtly new — a scent that appears only at the onset of impending, as yet indistinguishable changes. The morning light filtered through unwashed windows, painting the maps and the portrait of the Great Helmsman in faded tones

A Road of a Thousand Years. Prologue

On the day Chen Wang closed the door of the old school behind him for the last time, he knew that the new blocks of Beijing would soon rise here, yet he would long remember this moment, just as one remembers the final dream before awakening. He understood even then that he would never return — not for lack of will, but for lack of anywhere to return to: the walls, steeped in voices and footsteps, would be razed, just as old houses are razed to make room for a future that holds no space for the past

«Космическуая принцесса Кагуя!» — Как японская сказка превращается в безумное аниме о виртуальной поп-сцене

Это психоделическое, драйвовое техно-аниме, действие которого происходит в ближайшем будущем

When the Apocalypse Takes a Day Off

If you have read the first three novellas (Isfahan, Shiraz, Fordo), you know the author as a master of psychological noir. He virtuoso-immersed us in the world of the Iranian atomic program, where love is measured in half-lives and family reunions take place in the crosshairs of intelligence services. It was prose of the highest caliber: smart, tragic, and hopelessly serious. But the concluding novella of the tetralogy, Operation “Stray Dog”, executes an unexpected pirouette
