Fourteen Days
"Fourteen Days" is a unique novel in stories, created by 36 authors under the editorship of acclaimed masters such as Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston, with the support of the Authors Guild of America. The book is named an event... in the literary world—it is a kind of puzzle reminiscent of Georges Perec's great experimental novel "Life: A User's Manual." Among the participants of this grand project, in addition to those already mentioned, is a whole constellation of brilliant names: Tess Gerritsen, John Grisham, Dave Eggers, Celeste Ng, Emma Donoghue, and others. The outbreak of the virus in 2020 sowed no less panic than in the Middle Ages. There were those who, like the heroes of the "Decameron," fled from big cities, while some had nowhere to run and had to self-isolate within four walls. Frightened by the lockdown, residents of a New York high-rise apartment building go out to the roof at night to tell and listen to stories. Someone recalls a chilling encounter with a ghost, someone passionately reads poems by Marina Tsvetaeva, and this neighbor discusses how to teach warring rabbits to coexist... More and more people come to the improvised gatherings, unaware that each story is secretly recorded by one of the attendees and accompanied by commentary. How will all these conversations end?.. For the first time in Russian!
