There is no need to introduce Viktor Shenderovich to the reader - this is a widespread and deeply incorrect point of view. This is the third time that the Vremya publishing house has been forced to re-introduce one of our wittiest, most sarcastic and politically concerned writers. First as a serious poet (“Lame Verse”), then as a serious prose writer (“Re-Film Cinema,” “Scheveningen”), and now as a serious playwright. Serious in both senses of the word - that is, firstly, building his works not necessarily on the basis of humor, and, secondly, seriously talented in all literary genres.
