Appearing on the literary scene in the late 1980s, Andrei Levkin (1954-2023), writer, journalist, and editor of the famous Perestroika magazine Rodnik, published nearly two dozen books and became one of the most prominent and radical authors in modernist Russian-language literature. The scope and influence of the new type of free fiction prose developed by Levkin has yet to be fully appreciated, and the book "The Art of Prose, and at the same time of Poetry" is a crucial step on this path. For the first time and with maximum completeness, this edition presents Levkin as an analyst reflecting on his main occupation - on technique, genre and other subtleties of text- and author-building. The book brings together essays, articles, reviews, essays, and "treatises" published over the course of more than thirty years in periodicals, on the Internet, or as prefaces to books by various authors, and not previously included in separate editions. Collected together, these texts - detailed, but at the same time light and ironic - allow us to take a fresh look at Levkin's already well-known books, many of which were published by the New Literary Review: "Schastielovka," "Vienna, Operating System," "Naked Brains, Tile Counter," and others.
