The main character of the novel hears other people's thoughts and gradually stops understanding where others end and he begins. Participants of the book club will discuss how Yoav Blum speaks to the reader about personal boundaries, loneliness, and trust. The ability to hear other people's thoughts seems like an advantage only until they can be distinguished from one's own. But the protagonist of Yoav Blum's novel perceives the thoughts of those around him as his own inner speech and gradually stops understanding which desires, fears, and decisions belong to him. The hero is forced to deal with the flow of thoughts that cannot be turned off. Fatigue leads him to the decision to become a hermit, but the attempt to hide from the consciousness of others raises a new question: can one preserve oneself while completely renouncing relationships and participation in the lives of others? The discussion will focus on themes of loneliness, trust, responsibility, and personal boundaries. The main issue raised by the author concerns human relationships: even access to other people's thoughts does not guarantee a complete understanding of a person. Everyone has a past, experience, and internal logic that cannot be reduced to separately heard phrases. The discussion will be led by Georgy Snegiryov - head of the department of industry literature at RGBM and curator of the "Phoenix" book club.
