The Parade of Masks by Nikolai Baturin

chatTALK TO OWNER

Nikolai Baturin's last novel, completed in the autumn of 2018, 'The Parade of Masks', is both a hide-and-seek game in a magical reality and an unashamedly autobiographical retrospect. It starts with the birth of the main character in the village of Arumetsa and leads to a summary of a life journey. The author's diverse self is revealed in full: in poetry in the dialect of Mulgimaa, in stories of growth, and insights from a long life, wandering through spacetime and his poetic universe, Avarilm. It's a playful yet solemn tribute and greeting to the people who have shaped the author.
