Andrei Astvatsaturov’s new book continues the line he outlined in his debut novel “Naked Men.” The author takes the reader on a journey through Leningrad-Petersburg, making short stops in the places where he spent his childhood and youth. Memories intertwine with life outside the window, academic knowledge becomes part of everyday life. Astvatsaturov is a great storyteller, the “Russian Woody Allen,” whose short sketches and literary anecdotes, real-life incidents and sketches from nature will make you laugh more than once.
