About the book: year / Zorin’s favorite hero, the writer Konstantin Romin, died. And after his death he became a classic. Which happens quite often with “inconvenient” people, which is what Romine was. Or seemed to many, including another writer - Avenir Ilyich (AI), who is now entrusted with the honorable mission of playing the role of Friend. Although Romin did not call Avenir Ilyich a friend. And he could not (and cannot) sort out his feelings for the deceased - in a cocktail of jealousy, envy, admiration, gratitude, an unconscious desire to imitate, dependence.
