Andrey Katsev's novel "Birds Fly North" is a strange book that exists in two dimensions, where everything is turned upside down: in the world of Russia of the 2024 model, similar to the land of the dead who pretend to be alive, the ghostly world of the past invades reality — woven from memories, symbols, countercultural homages of the "big nineties", songs "Straw Raccoons" around the campfire of retired ecoterrorists, the epics of former political activists and the sound of the Bloodhound Gang, and it gradually becomes clear that this is a dream of modern Russia, to which the ghosts of Another destroyed by it return. The book series "Free Debut" It is published in partnership with the Free Creative Writing Master's Degree program in Literary excellence at the Free University.  The curator of the series is Tatiana Sotnikova (Anna Berseneva)
