About the book: year / Texts about literature for the first two decades of the 21st century. All this reflects, first of all, the critic’s own questions about how a person arranges and thinks through his relationships with the world and his situation in it. If the author had been more academic, thorough and ponderous, he would have written a philosophical work about this. But there is a special charm and freedom in thinking about this in the format of quick flying notes in the margins of other people’s books.
