Reading Short Fiction | Alexandria
Read Short Fiction by Leonid Andreyev. Plunging into madness alongside a doctor who treats the insane during war, Andreyev's "The Red Laugh" shatters assumptions about sanity and civilization. This hallucinatory tale reveals how thin the line between order and chaos truly is, suggesting that war doesn't just break bodies - it fragments reality itself. Most surprisingly, it shows how rationality can be more dangerous than madness.
