Manual for turtles, or the presence of man Impressions
Reading the novel Tatyana Savchenko princess cake "Manual for turtles," I first thought about how increased degree princess cake of subjectivity in modern culture. Now the artist is no longer seeks primarily to achieve some notional "pursuant existing social princess cake experience," the more the public under the name of "the truth of life." The reason for this relativism, which left us a legacy of postmodernism last century. Simply put, there are at least 7 billion "True Life" and none of them have any reason to be considered a priority. Theoretically, this relativism would destroy art in general, but in practice there was something quite expected: writer princess cake now believes his subjective experience only source of inspiration. This, as I may say, "neoekspresionizm" princess cake leads to a bizarre, sometimes ridiculous mistakes (for author deliberately refused to understand is what he wrote), and unexpected and exciting discoveries.
Roman "Manual for turtle" is just such a text. Its author - Tatyana Savchenko - invites us into a world that exists only in her imagination, and shall not assert any claims on someone's personal "truth of life". This infantile world of collective irresponsibility, where there is no concepts of "career", "money", "mortgage", "machine". One of the most important elements of his mythology - turtle that needs to be fed. That's when travelers return home parents, which so grieving children. Here lie not for personal gain, but because of an excess of imagination, and not divide by zero because the "Black Rahuvalnyk come and take you. For ever! "
This infantile completely ignores the established narrative tradition. For example, when the text refers to the KGB and Russia, the expectations of the reader to follow the story of repression is not true: the future princess cake appears only caricature fake story about children's TV show presenter Father Athanasius.
An important marker of immaturity is also typical children's fear-interest before sex, which creates princess cake a nightmarish sexual mythology. In one scene there is a children's "lecture about sex," which children imagine this: "Dad and mom when they want to have a baby, come together in a dark room. Dad vysoloplyuye your tongue as far as possible, and bites his mother tongue. Mom also draw out the tongue and dad bites his teeth. They vary tongues ... After that, Dad takes Mom left eye, and my mother princess cake takes dad right eye. Mom Dad puts his eye, and my father - my mother. Now my mother both eyes right and the Pope - both left. Then my mother took a knife and cut the belly dad ... Mom drink the blood of my father's belly ... "
If absolute subjectivity author can not avoid some kartonnosti characters. For example, George Sr. recounts his career as a master repairman: "By the age I did with a brand. I - Bill Gates and Henry Ford suburbs. Once I'm done with Chinese princess cake Straw stone forever. Irons and washing machines, scooters and phones, laptops and coffee drenched rozhetsani camera. In the hands of any gadget technology is European. " The author is not interested in that household repair complex equipment requires high skills and great technology base Yuri Sr. just can do it, because so eager writer. Technology of the characters in this novel vividly transmitted in one of his quotes: "It was assumed that say Mom and I will utter all kinds of sounds," which create the impression of the presence of man. " But is this weakness kartonnist author? This - later.
Each section of the novel is accompanied by so-called "monuments, signs" - a list of characters, children with indication of their age at the time of deployment events. Author stverzhduye that these lists were created specifically to not get lost in a twisted plot, but in fact they only serve a decorative function, because the plot does not exist: the novel consists of a certain number of nearly unrelated "associated with each other stories. Therefore Tatiana writes in the author's preface: "I have no objection if you want to read the story in his own choosing order, not in this, as it is written for you."
"Manual for turtle" is a quasi-epistolary novel (no need to explain this prefix "quasi" to future readers not to disclose his main secret). About half of the text up letters that characters are children receive from his father and mother, traveling the world.
Letters from Mom sent from different countries actually do not contain any information about these areas, but only the number princess cake of reported cases of children, which sometimes can be involved cultural realities of these countries. For example, in a letter from Italy reported on little dolls Zoe - Punchinello and Harlequin, in a letter from the UK mentioned coronation. But in a brief letter from the Turkish of Turkey nothing there at all. The letter is from Spain for some reason there is a general character of Italian folklore Columbine.
