A finalist for the "Big Book" and "Yasnaya Polyana" awards. The collection of prose "Lalotta" takes us to Paris. Rather, on a journey from Paris to Paris: from the Western European capital to the village of Paris in the Chelyabinsk region, or to the residential complex named after the famous city, or to a café with the same name. In the book, you will meet many characters: Amedeo Modigliani, a lonely retired boss, a thief, a French teacher, a literary editor disappointed in everything except their native language... Each hero of "Lalotta" has their own Paris: the one they dreamed of, but more often the one they deserve.
