Kira lives in the closed northern town of Sulim, where the locals make a living from poaching. Li is on a university campus in the U.S., conducting research at the intersection of contemporary art and anthropology. Tanya is in modern-day Moscow, making documentary films. Without them even realizing it, evil seeps into their lives and threatens to destroy them. Or perhaps it was always there? But why, at what cost, and how did it happen?
"The Reef" is a novel about the eternal war of generations, the author’s examination of religious cults where ancient rituals mingle with modernity, and where mythological and mystical dimensions hide behind highly topical narratives. Each of us may run into a REEF; what matters more is how you survive the wreck.
