Our world disintegrates into smithereens. Dreams and reality, drunken delirium and feverish ecstasy, lapses and oblivions, ennui, nothing lets the body relax even for a moment – all brings amazing lightness. In the torn apart, broken world, all the whims are fulfillable: in a honky-tonk, in a street, anywhere one wishes.
Plots aren’t important. Ideas are unimportant as well as concepts. All those are just bubbles on the surface of water. Everything is much simpler: history exists. People are born and they die. And any attempts to turn all this into a system – either historical or philosophical – are doomed.
