The book contains stories by Moscow prose writer Vladimir Tuchkov, famous both for his novels (“DANCER”) and for his actions in the spirit of “positive schizophrenia.” His stories - hilariously funny, paradoxical, cunning - lead the reader by the nose. As if in a cabinet of curiosities, Tuchkov gathers his heroes - sorcerers, drug addicts, necrophiliacs - and forces them to perform the most ridiculous moves. “What a farce,” the gullible reader will cry, “is this how you can describe reality?!” And then he will understand: this is the only way to describe this reality.
