“We will talk about their secret life. On the psychology of monuments. In other words, about modern prose, about the “Petersburg text. And in general – about everything Petersburg: about a difficult time and a difficult place. The fact that an honest consistent realist today is doomed to become a surrealist. About the fact that “absurdity is not always destructive, it is sometimes constructive, sometimes it is salvation for a person.” And in general – how can we live when the world seems to be broken and going crazy? We will definitely discuss all this at our meeting,” Nosov said.
