This is an automatically translated description

«Chapoloch» is the author's debut novel. There has never been anything like this text in contemporary Ukrainian literature before. Rhythm, style, frenzy with subtle allusions to the classics, a play of meanings and subtexts. The novel is a challenge to the traditional canons of fiction, a poetic rebellion against the genre conventions of literature. The protagonist, a lonely philosopher, lives in a hermetic world in which he hides from the hard reality, overcoming the illusions of unbridled youth in search of beauty and a taste for life that he has lost. Like a little Buddha from the ghetto of the School for Fools, the adult man tries to comprehend what he sees and is afraid to see during a deep psychological crisis. And to regain what has been lost - genuine childhood joy, primitive sensuality, the voice of grass, knowledge of the language of trees, birds and animals, the true fullness of being. But won't you become a beast yourself in the wild forest of people? A deeply metaphorical parable about the eternal human loneliness, vulnerability and thirst to know what makes one lose the human, but gain a power that exists beyond people and their world. A world without love.
