The father of the Russian avant-garde, the brilliant prose writer Vasily Aksenov (b. 1932) performs in a rare genre - Faction. His books “Non-stop 24/7” (1976) and “In Search of Sad Baby” (1987) are authentic descriptions of American life, as well as games of the subconscious in the style of a darkly cheerful surreal. Both the boring intellectual and the ordinary person who loves literature will read them with pleasure.
