Казус Кукоцкого

The time of the action of the novel "The Case of Kukotsky" is the forties and sixties: the end of the Stalin era, the defeat of genetics, the death of a tyrant, the thaw, the first jazzmen. Against the backdrop of all these events - the life of Pavel Alekseevich Kukotsky, a brilliant doctor, endowed with the gift of "intravision". Corporeality and, it would seem, the most crude physiology (here the author is not afraid to go to the very edge) are closely intertwined with the theme of fate - in its high, almost ancient Greek understanding.
