Fear of another person, of their imagination. Convention! Fear of being reflected, of seeing and feeling. Political statement, a farce in tangled spaces. Fragile attempts and declamations, confident and meaningless. People as if in mirrors — they are mirrored. Speech, the search for articulation, faulty gait and problems with legs. A little novel with pictures and so on. Gripmina’s cat, presumably bald, rustled for many years in the bushes near the Belarus railway station (some even heard it!). And suddenly it came out and walked importantly towards the public toilet. Further on, only misery, and after it sorrow, and so again and so on. Setting the question: is it possible to give a precise answer? Once again, this is another comedy about young people and not only them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"x_76613710font\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_76613710size\"\u003eViktar Zhybul:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"x_76613710font\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_76613710size\"\u003e\"The point around which the entire world of the novel 'Significant Days' revolves is Belarus. That is the name of a railway station in the town of Zaslaŭje. On it stands an ordinary public toilet. In which quite unusual things happen. A point where the realistic and the fantastical intertwine. A conventional world inscribed in specific topography. Reality not subject to a 'normal' description. Earthly and otherworldly characters. Deliberately 'incorrect' narrative language. Non-normative syntax. Changing pace. Grotesque and hyperboles. Ghostly allusions. A narrator dissolved in the universe. People turned into Words. Even. Also. Clues, corrections, and mockery from an 'off-screen' commentator. Drawings and photographs as illustrations or... as a replacement for the text itself?.. Realism, surrealism, pointillism, and a whole bunch of -isms in one bottle. Bridges across to the avant-garde, the Renaissance, and lubok. Timur Kudzelich's novel is about fear and bewilderment, hopelessness and glimpses of hope.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_76613710font\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_76613710size\"\u003eReal days.
