Once upon a time there lived an ordinary man, he had a job, a wife, two children, friends and a lot of problems. In a word, everything is like everyone else. But one day he was riding on the subway about his usual business, looked out the window and suddenly realized that he didn’t know where or where he was going, didn’t know his name, didn’t know who he was. This is how a healthy middle-aged man was struck by amnesia. True, he forgot only what was connected with him personally. And now he lies in the hospital and wonders whether he was a good person or not, and whether he had a family, and if he did, then why aren’t they looking for him. But life goes on, albeit forgettable, and you have to somehow put it together piece by piece, put together the puzzle of your past and your own personality. And just as the fearful memory of the woman with whom he was madly in love began to dawn in the depths of his subconscious, the hero learns that one of these days a trial awaits him, a trial where he will be divorced from the only one he needs in life. And the story began to unwind into the past... John O'Farrell, the author of the wonderful and beloved novel “There is no better for a man,” wrote a bitter, very funny and slightly philosophical comedy about the unconsciousness of modern man, about our life one day, about the fact that sometimes It’s useful to lose your memory - so that you can remember everything again and forever. Remembering everything - sometimes we miss this so much. Translation: Maria Alexandrova, Marina Alexandrova
