The Oarlock (Uklyuchina)

New and best prose by Denis Osokin, a brilliant writer whose stories 'Oatmeal,' 'Heavenly Wives of the Meadow Mari,' and 'Angels and Revolution' have all been adapted for the screen. This is astonishing, completely original prose that creates its own mythology. Osokin takes nothing for granted; he constantly generates meaning: new connections between familiar words create entirely new, often unexpected effects.
