Перечитала Град Обреченный. Лучшая книга на земле.

Egymilliárd évvel a világvége előtt | remekbe szabott panel-scifi. "- Jó hogy létezik tea a világon - mondtam - már régóta részegen az asztal alá ittam volna magam... - Én mégis jobban kedvelem a kávét - mondta Vecserovszkij. S ekkor meghallottam, hogy a bejárati ajtóban megfordul a kulcs."

Град обреченный, конечно, великолепное произведение, столько слоев и смыслов, хочется читать медленно и потом обдумывать. Однако в этот раз, когда я перечитывала книгу после многих лет, заметила какой-то особый фокус на сексуальности. Раньше не замечала, а сейчас аж режет глаза. В первую очередь потому, что это совершенно не нужно во многих местах повествования, на мой взгляд.
