About the book: 2023 / "Is it conceivable: you died without having time to create pages for yourself, not a single correspondence remained from you, but this did not add anything to your death, but, on the contrary, took it away from her...” The grown-up hero of Dmitry Garichev writes a letter to the deceased friend of his youth, recalling the shared experience of living in a gloomy village near Moscow. The era of the late 1990s - early 2000s, which has not yet been properly comprehended in modern Russian literature, becomes the main space and hero of the story. First love experiences, teenage fears, trips on night trains... The reality in which all this happened no longer exists, just as the recipient friend is no longer alive, but the narrator stubbornly resurrects them in his memory in order to answer his own question: where do these memories lead? – to heaven or hell? Dmitry Garichev - poet, prose writer, laureate of the Andrei Bely Prize and the Moscow Account Prize, author of the books "After All Dogs", "Boys" and "Fairy Tales for Dead Children"».
