Once upon a time, the publishing house “Amphora” and I had a joint project called FRAM. We came up with it to publish collections of stories by different authors, thematic and simply good. And many wonderful books were indeed published. The FRAM project closed a long time ago, and its regular authors and I moved on with our lives. And write different books, now not together, but independently. Well, or don’t write. Who knows. Several years have passed since then, but, by and large, nothing has changed - in the sense that we still love each other and miss those times when we wrote and collected books together, and we did great , it gets better every year. And we finally decided that we should all get together again and play our favorite game called “The Newest Russian Literature. Do it yourself.” At the same time, in order not to get up twice, we decided to conquer the world. It’s not that we desperately need it, but in a conquered world it’s much more pleasant to write books. And, by the way, it’s easier to publish them. It’s well known that the easiest way to conquer the world is with the help of cats. That’s why the first book of our stories, specially collected for the editors of “Times,” is called “About Cats.” And this is not an advertising maneuver, but the pure truth. There is not a single story in the process of narration in which at least one cat did not jump out.
