David Fonkinos is a rising star of French literature, the author of six novels and two comic books. He studied literature at the Sorbonne, studied jazz, taught guitar, calculated - and successfully! – the erotic potential of your character’s wife. This is the only writer in the world in whose pages two Poles mysteriously walk around. After Fonkinos’s novel “The Erotic Potential of My Wife,” which was warmly received by Russian critics, the publishing house “Azbuka” brings to your attention “Idiocy Inside Out”: a sentimental adventure novel. One fine day, a new Prince Myshkin appears in the center of Paris. His name is Konrad, he is the nephew (or maybe a false nephew!) of the famous writer Milan Kundera. The right to manage his time and attention is contested by the characters in this irony-laced novel. But what does Conrad himself want? And in general, who is he: a sage, reveling in the harmony of the world, or an eternal baby, whose naivety borders on idiocy? And anyway, what are two Poles doing here with a movie camera?!
