[Alexandr Korol]

The perception of time and tasks, time and space – it’s as if everything expands and contracts, expands and contracts. I don’t understand if I’m the one doing it or if I’ve only just started noticing it. And now, imagine this paradox. I spent ten days or so in Thailand, but it felt like just two days, like I didn’t rest at all. And now, I’ve been in Nepal since Christmas, staying through New Year’s, and it feels like I’ve been here for a year. That I’ve completely forgotten that I am Alexandr Korol and that I’m supposed to be writing books. That’s the latest.
