The two novels included in this book are works of Russian magic
realism. In the first novel, Shadowplay on a Sunless Day, Anatoly
Kudryavitsky writes about life in modern-day Moscow and about an
emigrant's life in Germany. The chapters of this multi-layered
novel form a narrative mosaic of episodes set in both real and
surreal worlds. The novel deals with problems of
self-identification, national identity and the crises of the
generation of "new Europeans". In the second novel, A Parade of
Mirrors and Reflection, the writer turns his attention to human
cloning, an issue very much at the centre of current scientific
debate. In this novel, he looks at the philosophical aspects of
creating artificial personalities who lack emotions and experience
of everyday human life through a story about secret cloning
experiments being carried out in an underground laboratory on the
outskirts of Moscow.
