The scene depicts a bookshelf in Perm, Russia, holding thirteen books and two decorative objects. Twelve books are vertically aligned on a dark shelf, displaying black spines with orange tops. Visible titles and authors include Nikolai Gogol's "Dead Souls," Charles Bukowski's "Notes of a Dirty Old Man" and "The Most Beautiful Woman in Town," Haruki Murakami's "South of the Border, West of the Sun" and "Norwegian Wood," "Central Park," "The Catcher in the Rye," an "Old Russian Detective" novel, Charles Bukowski's "Women," Ray Bradbury's "Zen in the Art of Writing," Jonathan Safran Foer's "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," and Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile." The publisher "pocketbook" is visible on several spines. A thirteenth book, "God Always Travels Incognito" by Laurent Gounelle, lies horizontally on top of the vertical books. In the foreground, a fabric doll, dressed in a light-colored knit dress and a pink Santa-style hat, holds a pink, glittery heart. A small, dark gray animal figurine, resembling a hippo, is perched atop the horizontal book. The background is a dark, indistinct surface.
