deep as always... and the most interesting for me personally was the conclusion - an attempt to understand why Zone concept is so personal for each of us... what does it mean for each and every body.
regarding the concept of City without time... It's a pity that one of the darkest and multi-leveled novels of Bros. was not yet translated in English (according to Wiki). It's called in Wiki "The doomed City", but this is wrong name and comes from the similarity of Russian words used in the original name Град обреченный, and should mean The City beyond the River. In that novel protagonist, the young russian man born approx. in early 30th of XX C. founds himself once in a City where he had to continue his life for now, and where his partners became japanese journalist of 40th, sweden girl of 70th, german military man (actually a Nazy guy)- and they all have to cooperate, they fell into discussions, try to make life easier, in fact they all are part of unexplained experiment (seems like they all are DEAD here in the real life?)... and the feelings on reading that novel are usually very controversal. For some people it says - there is no progress, no change in the human nature, and never would it be, for others - like me - it still left the feeling of growth, self-understanding... ability to get "beyond the river"...

- so, this sounds closer to Russian original name and transfers some epic...
