Some pieces are short notes, others long, self-contained stories, set in different places and times, and they gain from being read together. On the surface the book is about travel: airports, hotels, chance acquaintances. In fact it is about kinds of searching. Its title comes from a sect of Russian Old Believers who held that only those in constant motion can resist the devil. Annushka, who has a home and family, goes to live in the Moscow metro; Kunicki's wife and small son disappear on holiday in Croatia, and he searches for them in vain.
