Mha

The protagonist of the novel "Mha," Ignat (Iggy) — a poet and dreamer, as well as a reflective auto mechanic. He returns to his hometown after a long absence caused by wildfires and a call for citizens to address the aftermath of the disaster. However, he is met with an absurd and grim reality: broken families, mass casualties, and illusory attempts by loved ones to maintain normalcy. Here, the boundaries between order and chaos, truth and delusion gradually blur, plunging the hero into the fog of his own consciousness.

Darya Promch — a prose writer and poet. The author of the novel "Iskus" and three poetry collections.

• 1. A contemporary novel about violence against perception and the language of lies. The hero returns home after forced emigration, sees destruction, but those around him convince him that "everything is over." The conflict between the visible and the imposed becomes the backdrop for personal tragedy and growing madness.
• 2. Dense, poetic, and symbolic language. Fires become a metaphor for the burning out of love, memory, and consciousness itself.
• 3. For fans of symbolic and unsettling prose like "All My Birds," "Violation of Order," as well as modern intellectual dystopia.
