This book contains texts of conversations that, with rare exceptions, did not take place in reality. Not every person can find himself in the office of a high-ranking official, except perhaps in his imagination. Not everyone has the opportunity to overhear what prisoners are talking about in a correctional labor colony. Even a conversation with God takes place silently, and one can only guess about the content of such a conversation. Well, the likelihood of meeting an inhabitant of another planet is just as vanishingly small as the chance of participating in a confidential conversation with the president. When creating this unique collection of dialogues, fragments from the author’s works were taken as a basis, modified and supplemented, with a considerable amount of humor and self-irony - these are conversations about culture and art, about corruption and politics, and even the problems of medicine and pensions found a completely worthy place here.
