Fiction
Carbide
by Andrii Liubka
Description
In the adventure novel "Carbide," events unfold during the hot and troublesome summer of 2015 when a group of enthusiasts decides to build a Fountain of Unity with Europe in the small fictional town called the Bears. Why do they need a fountain, why are they perfect criminals, and how much can you buy a human kidney for in Ukraine - the author writes about all this business with humor and selective pessimism. The book features a plum tincture, fishermen, a cemetary worker, a seductive and lustful woman, several murderers, a corrupt mayor, and a brilliant idea. It also features river Tysa, and some despair.
