About the book: 2023 / "The writer brought a wild animal from Los Angeles. That is, then the writer did not suspect that it was wild, otherwise he would never have allowed himself to invite this hefty Russian cat with broad shoulders, a chest touched by burn scars, with long legs in constant bruises into his monastic abode. Alas, the writer discovered that the animal was wild and not domestic, too late.” A miniature despair suddenly pinched the airways of the short-haired superman, for he suddenly “saw” the biopsychological portrait of his new girlfriend. “Oh, I’ll suffer with her!” - he thought with horror, but without protest. For he was still a brave and unconquered writer, a former thief. Rare human specimens always fascinated him, and he understood what a rare specimen he got. The writer is Eddie, the eternal hero of Eduard Limonov, who travels the world in search of new literary subjects. The wild animal is singer and writer Natalya Medvedeva, with whom Eddie lives in a tiny apartment in the Marais. This is a novel about love and passion, in which Limonov creates a myth out of their relationship, full of drama and nervous breakdown, a novel about happiness as a curse. Life, the writer noted, based on his own experience, flows through time, like unclean blood, full of clots, convulsively. The structure of society has not been a secret to the writer for a long time. He found meetings of people ridiculous, vain and stupid. Smart people sit at home and think or communicate with the dead by reading their books. Tormented by an inferiority complex, the playmates are running around the party. It happens, of course, that a worthwhile person gets selected for a party, like the writer who took out a plaster tiger with a bow for a walk. But rarely.
