Summary/Abstract: The article tries to read Emilia Dvoryanova’s seventh novel – a book that is very different from her previous ones and that uses new language and imagery. The novel introduces us to a dystopian and post-realistic world. Is this a magical dystopia? Is it a metaphor for the search, for the journey to the Other and to Oneself? For the re-creation of the world, which has already become impossible and does not give birth to anything. About the rebirth of language and its use not only to explain being, but also to create world and meaning. A different postmodern novel, filled with biblical intertextuality and a transcendental reading of the world.
