Chto proiskhodit s avtorom i chitatelem, posledovatelʹno lishivshimisi͡a vsego, chto po opredelenii͡u neottorzhimo, - rodiny, pokolenii͡a, prinadlezhnosti k kulʹture, vozmozhnosti pravoty? Kakoe deĭstvie sokhrani͡aet smysl posle ri͡ada beskonechnykh vychitaniĭ? Chto mogut rabota avtora ili trud chitateli͡a sozdatʹ na meste utrachennogo? Devi͡atai͡a poėticheskai͡a kniga Demʹi͡ana Kudri͡avt͡seva o tom, chto ostaetsi͡a, kogda kazhetsi͡a, chto bolʹshe nichego net. Ob avtore: Demʹi͡an Kudri͡avt͡sev (rod. v 1971 godu, Leningrad) - poėt, prozaik, perevodchik, puteshestvennik, predprinimatelʹ.

What happens to an author and a reader who are consistently deprived of everything that, by definition, is irrevocable — homeland, generation, cultural affiliation, and the possibility of being right? What action retains its meaning after a series of endless subtractions? What can the work of the author or the work of the reader create in place of the lost? The ninth poetry book by Demyan Kudryavtsev is about what remains when it seems that there is nothing else. About the author: Demyan Kudryavtsev (born in 1971, Leningrad) is a poet, novelist, translator, traveler, entrepreneur.
