Evgeny Nikitin considers Dovlatov, Chapek, and Averchenko to be his predecessors. According to him, he does not pretend to create great prose, but wants to please people. “Russian Gulliver” designated its text as an “anti-novel”, because, in our opinion, the commonality of intonation, characters, consistent change of expositions, ironic and tragic scenes turns the book from a collection of stories into something more. The book is easy to read, but makes the reader smile and think, which is quite a lot these days. The book is decorated with drawings by the Moscow poet and artist Alexander Rytov. The book contains obscene language!
