About the book: 2006 / Book of memoirs "Epilogue" by V.A. Kaverin wrote without hoping for its publication. As the author noted, this is “not just a memoir—it’s a deeply personal book about the shadow side of our literature,” “about the deformation of talent,” about a compromise with power and the desire to resist this compromise. Memories are marked by extreme frankness, depth of introspection, subtle psychologism.
