A thriller novel, a feuilleton novel, a novel on the verge of buffoonery and area tragicomedy. Driven to despair by the death of his young pregnant wife, the hero-writer decides to adopt someone else's child. The successful life of a successful best-selling author is cracking: left alone, he begins to overestimate his own life and test his fate. Drugs, random women, troubles with the law... Grigory Ryazhsky, with his characteristic irony and grotesquerie, paints a picture of modern society, in which creative people are increasingly perceived as pets of a zoo and exposed to public ridicule. But saving irony ultimately helps the hero overcome circumstances. Before us is a new creative success of the author of the famous books “Vanyukhin’s Children”, “Drug Courier Lariosik”, “Colony of a Boring Regime”!
