Shatuns

Yuri Mamleev - the founder and recognized master of the genre of metaphysical realism. This is literature of the end of the world, exploring the black holes and abysses opening up in human souls.

«Shatuns» - a grotesque underground novel written in the sixties of the last century and for a long time had no chance of being published in the USSR. This is a surrealistic, noir, and metaphysical depiction of spiritual and physical entropy. The visible world is an illusion and a realm of death, where spiritual quests turn into obsession. «Shatuns», by the definition of Yuri Mamleev himself, is a riddle-novel.
