For all true lovers of domestic ironic fiction, Evgeny Lukin is about the same as Mark Twain or Mikhail Zoshchenko is for fans of ironic prose in general. Because this is the name of the author, whose talent, impeccably bright and original, is subject to almost ANY twists (and bells and whistles) in a difficult combination of fantasy and humor - from sparkling parables to caustic, almost cynical stories, from magnificent fairy tale prose, which beats the long-beloved Russian people the canon of the "kitchen tale" - to the point of ruthless social sarcasm.Before you - a collection of Evgeny Lukin. A collection of works equally brilliant and very different FUNNY!
