Another book written by a famous rocker. Edmund Shklyarsky is the leader of the legendary rock band «Piknik», a composer, poet, and artist. And recently, he has also become an author of books; this one is already the fourth in his biography. Shklyarsky has an unusual manner of expression, a unique style. These are the words of a person who perceives the surrounding world as both an artist and a philosopher at the same time. Because the plot is not as important as the philosophical maxims that the author pronounces. For example: «Only the closest person can be called a cretin, a freak, or a donkey. And these words will sound to him as another proof of love and memory, as another compliment.» Or this one: «It is shameful to ask the Deity for wealth, well-being, or a new lover. In the best case, the answer will be tetanus, which, like an iron nail, will pierce the body. But what to do if you want the lowly, and your own blood is not enough to quench the thirst of all the idols who take on any job, but are capable of nothing but empty promises?». Those who like the work of Edmund Shklyarsky (a man of undeniable talent) will not leave this book without attention.
