Literary features
[change | change source]Many characters from Andrei Gusev's stories have access to reflection, humor and a flight of fancy. His character is most often an intellectual who has found his place in life. But in relationships with others, he is not understood, and he does not want to live "wide open".[3] His characters sometimes mentally transform into an astral body. But which of us hasn't had something like this? Who, at least in dreams, doesn’t go to the "zero zone"?[5]
The use of colloquial language adds an extra dimension to Andrei Gusev's writing, giving it a unique honesty.
