Viktor Erofeev is the author and presenter of the “Apocrypha” program on the “Culture” TV channel, laureate of the Vladimir Nabokov Prize, holder of the French Order of Literature and Art, member of the Russian PEN Center. The new volume of the collected works of Viktor Erofeev includes collections of stories and essays “The Last Judgment”, “Five Rivers of Life” and “God X.” Written in different years, these caustic and sometimes very bitter miniatures provide a panoramic coverage of the life of our country. A life in which the main words - about women, Stalin, vodka, beauty, about ourselves - have not yet been said.
