The Garden Where Centaurs Live

"Find a Woodcutter" presents readers Andrei Gelianov and his collection of experimental short stories "The Garden Where Centaurs Live". These stories, taken by the author without regret from the principle of reality, preserve for us that ancient condition, which by the height of the XXI century is almost everywhere sacrificed to necessity. The disorderly garden of centaurs, ignoring any readerly experience, leads us by forest misguided paths to very simple things and people: Bruno Schulz, Rilke, Paul Celan, a white sea shell with thin walls, the red heartbeat of insomnia. And smoothly leads to the grand finale - the ecosystem of the collection's rainforest - the avant-garde proem "Quartet Immortality", based on the precepts of Philip Glass's String Quartet No. 5.
From pre-war Drohobych and virtual antiquity to the cyberpunk we deserve, a metaphysical German prison and a glowing jungle bordering the SuperSargassum Sea.
From a Baghdad thief to Henrietta Lacks (better known as the goddess HeLa) to a nameless Brazilian Indian, the last of a tribe that never made contact with the demons of civilization. We're all going to be late by sundown.
And no dreams.
