Yaroslav Melnyk, a man of bizarre destiny, is called a mystic and neo-symbolist by foreign critics. In the book of prose of this Ukrainian writer, who lives between Lithuania and France, the reader will encounter a hypnotic shift of familiar everyday reality, which makes possible spiritual liberation and exit - through catharsis - into another, "parallel" reality. The house in which the rooms disappear; an endless movie; a father who speaks to his son from an unknown source ... The intellectual richness of J. Melnyk's surrealist prose allows us to reflect on the archetypes of Father, God, Mother, and Fatherland. Notable features of Yaroslav Melnyk's novels and short stories are the intense plot, the subtlety of psychological analysis and the rare "classic" completeness of the form.
