Ne kormite i ne trogaite pelikanov - Astvatsaturov Andrei Alekseevich

In The New Novel by Andrei Astatsaturov, he is still the same hero. Urban neurotic, a teacher of literature, not too lucky in love, already familiar to us from the books "People in the naked", "Skunkcam" and "Autumn in pockets", comes to London, where he is drawn into a comical detective intrigue." This bespectacled intellectual-loser, the eternal victim of a street gang, funny, moneyless and pathetic, causes sincere sympathy in the reader. It is this under-the-record type that is extremely relevant for our time: today, when a loser is ashamed, he seems to postulate the human right to failure. In times of general forced happiness - defends the freedom to be sad and angry" (Galina Yusefovich about the novel "People in the naked")." The world is absurd, strange, irrational, anecdotal, as well as the creatures inhabiting it. We are all a bit of pelicans, beautiful in the flight of our fantasies and funny on earth" (ANDREW ASTSATUROV).
