“The Steppe” was so good, felt like an other worldly journey in a way. The constantly rotating characters combined with the never changing seemingly dead steppe landscape reminded me of something mythical, like the odyssey or the divine comedy, as it seems to Egorushka through his child mind.

Just like the steppe, in the duel the location feeds so much into the story. The hot waterside town beset on all side by crumbling cliffs feeds into this claustrophobic paranoia of the characters. The Duel refers to an actual duel but also the constant verbal sparring between all characters and their moral beliefs, everyone constantly wanting to impose them on each other.
