An introductory article to Vadim Klimov’s novel “The Shell” (Ravager, 2014). The character leaves the house, does something and returns back. Or it doesn't come back. Or doesn't leave home at all.

Translation and commentary on Beckett's poem "Cascando". "Cascando" was written in 1936. There is also a short radio play with the same title. The poem consists of three parts.

And what is he hiding in the closet? Images of naked women - like in a bathhouse? No - chess books - nothing to do...

“It is impossible to observe another person’s despair for more than a quarter of an hour without irritation.” EM. Cioran Nobody really wants to listen. In fact, honesty is a beautiful abstraction. In fact, there is nothing unusual in your separation, because no matter how unusual the relationship itself is, the reasons for leaving are always ordinary. Only Kierkegaard left his Regina because that was his philosophical position.
