And Every Day the Sun Rises. A Novel

In a foreign country, on the brink of collapse, he finds himself in a psychiatric hospital, where he meets various people and begins to understand himself better. It is there that the painful realization comes: there is no escaping from inner emptiness. Depression may retreat, but it will not disappear forever. Is there life without hope for complete healing? Can hitting rock bottom become the only honest beginning of the journey? What to do with loneliness that does not fade even among people?
This book does not offer recipes and does not promise an exit. It speaks about what is usually silenced: about life without illusions, without a happy ending, and without certainty for tomorrow.
For those who seek an honest and adult conversation.

Kirill Smorodin is a traveler and the author of the popular book “537 Days Without Insurance. How I Gave Up Everything and Went to Explore the World.” In an attempt to cope with depression, he embarked on a round-the-world trip. New cities and people, vivid impressions, the publication of a book, and recognition - it seemed that life was colorful again.
The author's new novel is a true confession that the happy ending turned out to be just a short respite. Depression, like a snake, did not disappear - it lay in wait to once again tighten its suffocating coils. Trying to stop the thickening darkness, the protagonist chooses the already tried path - travel. But it quickly becomes clear that the old methods no longer work.
