This is an automatically translated description

The magic number in the novel By the Carriage House Under the Dead Fox is eight. Perhaps because eight resembles a DNA helix, or a clepsydra, or even a Möbius tape, which symbolises, if not infinity, then at least continuity. It is not surprising that the main characters of the work are genetic lines, time cracks and the ongoing struggle for the private "I" and the national "we". Woven like a spider's web of particles of time, from fictional and real stories sprinkled with a pinch of literary magic, the novel is not a text-ribbon that girls used to decorate their braids, but rather a "dream catcher", an ancient amulet. At the centre of this amulet of eight is the Ukrainian aristocracy - forgotten, trampled into the mud, ground to dust, but like a phoenix, it rises from the ashes every time in the struggle for honour and dignity.
