This is the fourth author's volume by Mikhail Armalinsky. The first is “What could be better?” – was released in 2012, the second – “The Scent of Dirty Laundry” and the third – “Maximalisms” – were released in 2013. The fourth volume included “Obvious and Other Truths”, “Reliable Tales”, “Three Interviews”, essays and notes “Without Euphemisms,” as well as youth poems, stories and plays written by Armalinsky in 1966–1968. As in previous volumes, the texts of this volume were first published in Mikhail Armalinsky’s online literary magazine “General Erotic.” The main theme in Armalinsky’s work – a comprehensive artistic study of human sexual relations. Tirelessly, for almost half a century, outside literary schools, without being a follower of anyone and without giving birth to disciples, he promotes his theme, his views, his convictions, which for him have the force of commandments, into the consciousness of readers.
