Mechanisms of Joy

"Mechanisms of Joy" is one of the best collections by the author, continuing the ideas of "The Dark Carnival". The incomprehensibility of the divine and the understanding of the world in science is the idea of the story "Mechanisms of... Joy". The stories included in the book are original, with unexpected twists, sometimes funny and ironic, sad, mystical, detective, with elements of mysticism: there are both alien invasions and the ruthless world of show business, an illustrated woman, and wondrous marvels. The reader acts simultaneously as a doctor and a patient. The author managed to create a special atmosphere, to find the thin line of mutual penetration of love, life, and death, and to share his philosophical observations. You will better understand yourself and others.
