Notable Works

Oblomov, The Precipice

Russian realist novelist known for depicting lethargy, social stagnation, and the gap between aspiration and action. His work endures as a diagnosis of paralysis.

The Precipice's themes of unstable ground become literal control over terrain and earth. Stagnation is replaced by seismic violence.

Lore & Background

Fyodor's bodyguard and enforcer within the Rats. Loyal to a fault and devastatingly powerful in enclosed spaces. Where Fyodor thinks, Goncharov ensures the ground agrees.

The Narrative Hook

“The ground beneath Yokohama has opinions now. Most of them are hostile.”
