Denis Beznosov's novel "Evidence of Habitat" is a polyphonic meditation on catastrophe and totalitarianism. A chorus of voices, woven from monologues, streams of consciousness, newsreels and propaganda videos, records the history of destruction. Real phenomena are taken to the limit, what is happening conflicts with conventional logic. The world in a situation of catastrophe appears disunited, and the reader has to independently assemble a picture of the whole. The text features real characters - documentary filmmaker Ivens, artists Gerhard and Klein, aging actor Buster K. and furniture designer Wegner. But its main material is the polylogue of four nameless people who find themselves locked up, deprived of the opportunity to ever leave their shelter.
