Loft. Modern Novel. In the Moment

«We sincerely love literature. But in each of our lives, there is a period when we do not want to, but must love it», - this is how Russian playwright, screenwriter, and writer Valery Pecheikin begins his collection of essays. His (non)school compositions are filled with genuine love for the classic works of Russian literature and a desire to prove that they are actually very cool. A half-joking, half-ironic conversation on serious topics: why is Gogol creepy, how did Griboedov ruin parties, who will win: Tolstoy or Shakespeare?
After all, which of the authors adheres to the philosophy of the lazy cat and why is Kafka actually a great Russian writer?
