The symmetry teacher

A new novel of Andrei Bitov consists of several chapters, each of which can be read as a separate piece. These texts were written by an unknown foreign author E. Third-Boffin even less known about the author of Urbino Janoski and Bits, reproducing from memory the long-lost book, just translated it as a" pass-through picture.
Himself Bits says: "the Reader is free to prefer one or another story, but if he can manage everything and will hear echoes propagating from the previous to the next and from each to each, he finds the source of it, i.e. read both the novel and not a collection of stories."
