This is an automatically translated description

Petr Yatsenko's stylishly written novel The Return of the Freaks can be read from different perspectives: as an exciting adventure of two eccentrics who strangely protest against our reality; as an allegory of the absurdity of human existence: two freaks seem more real than those people who consider themselves normal, so who is really normal - the majority or the minority that is for some reason called freaks? And the most interesting reading of the novel is through the prism of "Lviv as a text": it does not mention Lviv anywhere, but the spirit of the city of Lion is conveyed with great power. It is no exaggeration to say that the writer creates a new dimension of "Lviv as a text" in The Return of the Fools (here we can add his novel Lviv Saga). The actors of the Chernihiv Youth Theatre, which is staging The Return of the Fools as an attempt to reach an understanding with Petro Yatsenko, also read the novel in their own way.
