“A Guide to Action for the Coming Days” by the young Israeli writer Yoav Bloom will not help everyone. It will be useful only to the loser Ben Schwartzman, a former librarian with three-quarters of his salary, who also does not drink at all. The book gives him strange advice, intimidates and supports him, and, among other things, recommends strong alcoholic drinks of special merits for consumption. If he follows these instructions, what will happen? Will he just wake up with a heavy hangover or, perhaps, a completely different person?.. What if the “Guide” will help him protect himself from an aggressive world? Or, on the contrary, in the coming days will Ben understand the conventional boundaries between strength and weakness, experience and innocence and dissolve in this very world?.. And will Ben Schwartzman cope with all this? And all of us - everyone, everyone, you, me - are doomed Is it possible to remain only yourself? Maybe no one can break out of his own vicious circle until a certain Yoav Bloom wrote a “Guide to Action” especially for him?..For the first time in Russian!
