Xia Boyang and Void

About This Novel
There are two levels of time and space in the novel "Xia Boyang and the Void": Xia Boyang's troops shortly after the October Revolution and a lunatic asylum in Moscow after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Connecting these two levels of time and space is Peter Void, a schizophrenic patient who travels between them. He was in these two realities at the same time. In what he thought was the real reality, he was a modernist decadent poet in Petersburg, but accidentally became the political commissar of Master Xia Boyang in 1919. In another dream reality, Peter was a patient in a mental hospital in the 1990s. The loss of the true self and the split of personality undoubtedly make it increasingly difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion. The novel travels through time and space, one dream after another.
