Cerebro
by Andriy Bondar
Description
Cerebro, a new collection of short prose by Andrii Bodnar, introduces readers to the strange world of small human adventures. Random meetings and everyday situations that can happen to anyone start you thinking, making decisions and acting. It is a peculiarity of these texts that some of them are copied from real life experience, while others, completely fictitious, are macabre and phantasmagorical. The collection is compiled to start with completely realistic texts, but with each subsequent text this realism is extinguishing or gains new features. There are biographical texts, and then the usual reality departs and the reality of parable appears. The book is a path from realism to phantasmagoria and the sphere of magic. Compositionally it is a path from the real to the unreal world, culminating in a parable about what awaits us at the end of life.
