About the book: 2017 / Anyone at least once in their life thought: what would happen if... If they received a different education, found a different job, met someone else person would have made a different decision. What if... “What if?..” is the second name for a midlife crisis. The main character of the new novel by Alexander Staroverov constantly asks himself this question. Is he a businessman or a writer? Happy or not? What would happen if he was a hard worker who went to fight in Donbass? Or a security officer defending the Motherland from the machinations of the West? Or an emigrant? Or a fifth column? Or an official? To answer these questions, you may have to die. Perhaps to be resurrected... Everything is possible in this world. But is it possible to just be happy in it??
