This is an automatically translated description
Ihor Pavliuk's book Vacuum consists of the novel-essay Vacuum and the phantasmagorical story-essay The Last Sun Worshipper. The novel Vacuum is the third novel in the author's trilogy, which also includes the already published novels Mesozoic and Bug, whose common protagonist is the poet, journalist, and pilgrim Andriy Nayuk, whose lyrical and dramatic poems are organically inlaid into the existential and epic body of the novels' texts. A certain essayistic, even journalistic nature of The Vacuum is synonymous with its social relevance with a projection onto the matrix modality, reincarnation of archetypes, geopolitical comparatives, and national traumas in their search for existential and real bottom and God, because the most terrible vacuum is the absence of God (conscience) in people's souls.
The story-essay "The Last Sunworshipper" is a phantasmagoric continuation of the apocalyptic visions of modern civilisation, but not on a national, but on a global-cosmic scale against the same national background of physical and psychophysical metamorphoses, demonological and technocratic features of our time.
