In the new novel by Nikolai Kutyapov there are no words that do not begin with the letter “p”. The words table of contents and novel did not fall under this rule; the author was unable to find synonyms for them. Here’s what, for example, the titles of some chapters sound like: “Paul’s adolescence” or “Paul’s recognition as a psycho.” In the preface of the novel, Kutyapov talks about the landowner Panfutiy Porfiryevich Petrovsky, who prefers to remain silent about his past. Further, the novel describes the everyday life of the hero from Soviet times, which ends in a mental hospital. Nikolai Kultyapov is a retired KGB colonel. When he served, he never dreamed of creativity. With retirement came the discovery of writing talent. His stories, poems and other works have a patriotic orientation.
