The appearance of this book is a HOLIDAY FOR READERS! Reading it is easy and pleasant. This is a homerically funny and at the same time touching collection, written subtly and aphoristically, one of those rare publications that gives the reader the impression that he himself would write it like that if he could. The book by the famous screenwriter Mikhail Baranovsky (“The Queen’s Sisters”, “The Hour of Volkov”, “Taxi Driver”, “Girls”) can confidently lay claim to rapid reader success, and its author to a rapid entry into the modern literary elite.
