You can't leave

This book is not quite ordinary. It consists of my novel "You can''t leave, you can''t stay," and the "virtual" part, which is posted on the Internet as a blog written by one of the characters in the novel.A blog is a keyhole to the past, into which you can peep well-hidden secrets. He helps private detective Alexei Kisanov restore the events of the distant days, but not only: he reveals the character of both the blogger himself and several of his former classmates.The idea of ​​writing a novel that includes a virtual part was pushed by the love of the game with multiple realities, which I discovered when I was working on my dissertation on Eugene Onegin (and other works of Pushkin). And I could not resist the opportunity to play it! The world of fiction, which is fiction, echoes the world of virtual in its fantasy essence, in the possibilities of mystification - and the temptation to push these two worlds in one work was very great.As a result, the virtual becomes a part of the novel, where the character of the novel writes a blog, and the comments are left by the most real visitors, who thereby unwittingly become part of the novel!At the same time, this game allowed me to separate the two polar worlds in spirit and worldview, giving everyone their own form and their own space.I invited Oleg Khrustalev, a journalist from Nizhny Novgorod, to the "role" of the character leading the virtual diary. He courageously took upon himself the task of creating in detail the unsightly character of a blogger and telling an unsightly story on his behalf. Oleg played this role with great skill, for which I bring him my thanks!The blog address is indicated during the development of the plot. For those who do not have access to the Internet, a printout from the blog (without visitors'' comments) is given in the Appendix to the novel. (Chur, don''t peek ahead of time!)As with any blog hanging on the net, any visitor can leave comments there.
