A collection of essays by novelist, translator, and critic Alexei Polyarinov is like a heartfelt conversation with a good friend about film and literature. The author shares the most intimate - the ideas of unwritten books: he talks about a novel about the adventures of Cervantes' mother, a fanfic on "The Wizard of Oz" and even leads an imaginary excursion to a morgue near Moscow, simultaneously giving a lecture about the dead in Russian literature. In the second part of the book, readers will find the story of Jonathan Franzen and David Foster Wallace's "arch friendship," an essay on one of the worst American historical novels, Cormac McCarthy's Bloody Meridian, reflections on the rise of the global novel and other texts about film and literature, written with an incredible love for the subject and an excellent sense of humor.
