From the publisher

This collection of essays by the novelist, translator and critic Alexei Polyarinov is like a heartfelt conversation with a good friend about film and literature. The author shares the most secret - the ideas of unwritten books: the novel about the adventures of Cervantes' mother, a fanfic on 'The Wizard of Oz' and even leads an imaginary excursion to the morgue near Moscow, simultaneously giving a lecture about the dead in Russian literature. The second part tells the story of Jonathan Franzen's and David Foster Wallace's 'friendship', an essay on one of the most horrible American historical novels, Cormac McCarthy's Bloody Meridian, reflections on the emergence of the global novel and other texts about film and literature, written with an incredible love for the subject and an excellent sense of humor.
