Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Gray House is a Russian postmodern/magical realist novel, written by Mariam Petrosyan in the Russian Nineties. It was published in Russian in 2009, and translated to English in 2017.The novel is set in a specialized boarding school for children and teenagers with disabilities. The time and place are deliberately obscured: one can deduce that it takes place somewhere in the late 80s-early 90s in a Fictional Country which looks like a mish-mash of post-Soviet Russia, Western Europe, and United States. It starts as a more-or-less realistic drama story about Smoker, a paraplegic teenage tenant of the House who struggles to adapt in a new group of students. Initially, he feels like he is the Only Sane Man: his groupmates are obsessed with seemingly childish traditions and "rituals" of the House, they invent strange fairytales and indulge in bizarre fantasies. However, it turns out that these "fantasies" are not fantasies at all, that the House contains many mystical (and often dark) secrets, and each of the students has their own skeleton in the closet. Things only get weirder from there...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

| The Gray House / int_4bee6360 | comment |
False Protagonist: Smoker: the first Book is told almost entirely from his perspective, but in Books 2 and 3 he gives way to other narrators. | |

Really 700 Years Old: As it turns out at the end, Tabaqui is living in an eternal time loop from childhood to late adolescence, so while he always looks like a kid or a teen, he's actually very old. | |

Does Not Like Shoes: Blind goes barefoot very often (perhaps it helps him to navigate, since he is, you know, blind). | |
