About the book: year / The main character, a former lawyer, a man of the Soviet System, learns his diagnosis - Alzheimer's disease. He faces a slow farewell to life, consciousness, a journey through the past, which will also soon be forgotten. The hero goes through this tragic path - from memories to senile amnesia, from amnesia to non-existence and the last chapter, in which it becomes clear what a person without memory is left with in the end - with a bamboo stick carried by a girl with blue bows in her pigtails, a light and warm picture from childhood, and also with pity, pity for everyone. @ "Rossiyskaya Gazeta»
