Vera the Dog
6.99 €
St. Petersburg, present day. After a strange epidemic, all animals have become extinct, leaving only birds, reptiles, insects, and fish. An elderly professor lectures on OBERIU. Sonya, Katya, Arina, Vanya, Kostya, and Tema become friends, fall in love, travel to the sea, and share a communal apartment. Philology students stage a reenactment of the OBERIU poetry evening "Three Left Hours." Somewhere out there, in a parallel reality, Harms, Vvedensky, Zabolotsky, Druskin, and others are still alive.
This hopeless idyll is shattered by the rumor of a black dog appearing in the city. Does it really exist? Or is this vision a harbinger of the apocalypse? Can this fragile world be saved, or is humanity doomed?
Vera the dog has come running to us straight from Alexander Vvedensky's play "Yolka at the Ivanovs." The novel was written with incredible love for the history of OBERIU, St. Petersburg, and a reverent belief that, despite all the horrors man is capable of committing, there is still more good in him. "Vera the Dog" is the perfect book for those who crave a reading in the spirit of Anton Sekisov's "Vaginov's Room."
