Kaleidoscope. Direct speech, interviews, monologues. 1997-2004

The direct speech of Yegor Letov can be viewed endlessly, like a separate work, no less important than his poems, songs, and collages. As time has shown, the interest in Letov's personality, in his words, in what he managed to create during his life, not only does not fade, but steadily grows. The first book, «Radiance», covered the period from 1986 to the spring of 1997, now — a continuation, from May 1997 to December 2004. It continues to amaze, as before. From «Sun Gate» and «The Unbearable Lightness of Being» through «Meteor Shower» to «Long Happy Life» and «Reanimation». Through long years of waiting and painful creative silence to a new flash and revelation. Interviews and friendly conversations, monologues, press conferences, and answers to all your questions, concerts across the country, foreign tours, and closed borders. Contradictions and integrity, a great multitude and a secret gate in the void. Reflection in mirrors and a look at familiar things through the prism of the past. A new meeting in a dream and a rendezvous on the other shore. Hexagram «Escape» and trigram «Sky». The eternal kaleidoscope. The story does not end, and the continuation follows. The author's detailed comments include fragments of personal memories and stories that seemed appropriate to share here.
