Such Words Are Not Thrown Around

«Such Words Are Not Thrown Around» — a collection of aphoristic prose and statements about human character, love, freedom, literature, Soviet everyday life, and emigration. The publication includes fragments from literary works and journalism, so there is no single plot: the book consists of short, concise formulations that combine irony, everyday accuracy, sadness, and mockery of the absurdity of everyday life. This format will suit those who appreciate concise thought and want to turn to the prose of Sergey Donatovich Dovlatov through its most expressive intonations.
