Mikhail Ivanov. Banana: A novel. - M.: Ad Marginem, 2000. - 220 p.; circulation 5000 copies; ISBN 5-93321-019-6.
The editorial ideologist of Ad Marginem, Mikhail Kotomin, liked this ingenuous text, published in January 2000 by the library of the Solo magazine , so much that he promptly republished “Banana” under a beautiful and hard cover. The first half of "Banana" is a requiem for the Moscow majors of the 70s. The third quarter is a variation of "Lolita", complicated by the fact that Geisikha remains alive, and Dolores turns out to be a lesbian. The fourth quarter is a chronicle of the tour of two over-aged psychotics to Thailand. The plot is not fictional. Everything happened exactly as it was written.
Quote: I didn’t want to read Pelevin - it seemed to Banana that Vitek himself wasn’t in the madhouse and didn’t try sulphate, like Misha, on his ass and under his shoulder blades, on himself, according to the scheme. In 1985, Banana was given the full program of sulfa - then strong and young Misha broke down only on the third day, dispersing sulfazine with continuous physical exercises - both doctors and nurses simply went crazy. On the third day, he just broke down and lay unconscious in a fever with a temperature that went beyond 40. But then he got up, quickly recovered and ran again, first at a trot, and then at a gallop, at full speed. Now he was running only inside himself, and in the outside world he walked at a fast pace and gave his body to the massage. Made it up! And you need to invent it in such a way that those who experience it believe it. Probably the Russian from the beach was right - opportunistic reading. But Banana liked a lot in the collection “Yellow Arrow”.

Book by Tikhon Ivanovich P. (1864-1935), zemstvo theorist, who edited the posthumous collection. op. Tolstoy, who in exile founded the publishing house "Russian Land", breathes well-tempered hatred for Sofya Andreevna.
First edition - Paris: Modern Notes, 1928.
Quote: Tolstoy’s mental crisis was little understood by her. Illness and death worried her, disturbing the cloudless days of previous happiness. But the specter of death, which took possession of her husband’s exceptional imagination, was powerless to influence her everyday common sense.

A collection of articles by Russian and foreign linguists, dedicated to the memory of philologist Tatyana Vyacheslavna Bulygina (Shmeleva) (1929-2000). Sections : “Linguistic and philosophical problems of ethics”, “Ethical concepts”, “Deontic discourse”, “Ethics in national cultures”, “Ethics in author’s texts”. Appendix : "Grammar of modists". Tasty titles: “On the definitions of good: logical and methodological analysis” (L.V. Maksimov), “Model of the ethical ideal of the Confucians” and “Mentality of the middle way” (Tan Aoshuang), “Actant structure of sins and virtues” (V.G. Gak), “On the semantics of scrupulousness” ( Anna A. Zaliznyak ), “The voice of reason and the voice of conscience” (E.V. Uryson), “The Grammar of Shame” (T.V. Bulygina, A.D. Shmelev ), “Ethics in computer jargon" (O.I. Ermakova), "Paradoxes of justification in religious discourse" (Kusse Holger), "A figure of silence in political discourse" (Lyudmila Peppel), "Crime and punishment in the light of mythology" (S.M. Tolstaya ), "Speculative grammar as ontology" ( R.M.Ganzha ).
O.I. Ermakova: In the free international network FidoNet, there is a whole set of rules of conduct ( policy or rules ), failure to comply with which entails disciplinary action, including disconnecting the user from the conference. The person who enforces the rules ( the moderator ) sends a plus as a warning to the offender ( the flattened ); receiving three pluses means disconnection from this conference. With the spread of the paid Internet network, the possibility of such influence is gradually becoming a thing of the past, and the corresponding nominations are disappearing, which once again confirms the variability and rapid obsolescence of computer jargon.
Grigory Pomerantz , Marina Kurochkina. Trinitarian thinking and modernity: Collection of articles / Preface. G. Pomerantz; afterword N.B. Averyanova. - M.: Phantom Press, 2000. - 317 p.; circulation 1000 copies; ISBN 5-86471-238-8.
From the preface: The death of Marina Kurochkina lies like a stone on my heart. This is one of my few students... Marina - it seems, one of all friends and acquaintances - literally demanded from me new steps in the field of “Trinitarian thinking”... Unfortunately, she also had an aptitude for business, in her company she earned several thousand dollars, and the smell of the bucks attracted the killer.
From “Judas” by M.N. Kurochkina: I remember that as a child I had one privilege - once a year I was taken to “Children’s World” (the largest children’s goods store), where they bought me what I chose myself, but only just one thing. After several painful attempts, I gave up this privilege: I could not choose only one out of ten teddy bears - they were all calling me. And how to determine what is more important: “snow maidens” (snow-white skates) or a set of paints - both were important to me. If only it were possible to live in "Children's World"!
Judas did the opposite: instead of choosing everything, he chose something specific...
Igor Smirnov . Megahistory: Toward a historical typology of culture. - M.: Agraf, 2000. - 544 p.; circulation 2000 copies; ISBN 5-7784-0128-0.
Sections : "Essays on the historical typology of culture", "On Old Russian culture, Russian national specificity and the logic of history", "The system of folklore genres (metaphysics of folklore)", "New historicism as a moment in history" (regarding the article by A.M. Etkind " New historicism, Russian version)".
Igor P. Smirnov’s book Homo homini philosophus... (St. Petersburg: Aletheya, 1999) was included in the shortlist for the Andrei Bely Prize 2000.
Quote: In order to build at least an approximate image of megahistory, I needed empirical awareness of it, which I clearly did not have enough of one life to acquire. I found myself becoming a misanthrope because humanity was too generous with historicity, with authorship, with the creation of texts, with the generation of information beyond the ability of an individual brain to digest it... Time spent on the couch, I spent searching for a workaround that would allow me, with my little knowledge, not to confront the vast history directly, so to speak, head-on... If I manage to describe the diachrony of Russian culture in sufficiently abstract terms, I reasoned, this would mean , that my model is applicable, albeit with amendments, to other areas where spiritual history was made... I decided further... to be content with considering primarily those updates that took place in the field of literature.

Quote: Fyodor Pavlovich is disgusting with his rudeness, animal lust and lack of visible nobility and spiritual height. However, all of its negative features can be understood as a kind of negative reflection (and perhaps as a consequence!) of the incredible development of the feeling of love - love in its most authentic essence - which in its “sensitivity” has reached the satanic depths... For.. The disgusting lustful “omnivorousness” of Fyodor Pavlovich reveals the true insight of love , the ability to penetrate the unique and specific earthly individuality and merge with it, become it.
E.N.Uspenskaya . Rajputs: Knights of Medieval India. - St. Petersburg: Eurasia, 2000 (series “Pilgrim”). - 384 p., ill.; circulation 3000 copies; ISBN 5-8071-0050-6.
A comprehensive encyclopedia of Rajputism. With lots of pictures and fascinating anecdotes. It turns out that the popular belief that the Rajputs killed newborn girls is nothing more than a myth.
Quote: They said about Rajput wives that they would never live with unloved spouses, with those who were not valued and respected. And that they wouldn’t even marry them. The remedy they chose was suicide. In literature you can read legends about Rajput ladies who got rid of overly persistent suitors for their hand and heart - forever. It is important to note that these applicants were non-Rajputs. Moreover, not every one of these poor fellows understood that he was simply poisoned.

The authors are primarily interested in magical practices. Readers, let’s not lie, too. This reference and popularization book was published in English in 1995.
Quote: Spence mistakenly associated National Socialist ceremonies, which originated in Prussian and Austrian military traditions, with paganism, speaking of a "Nazi pagan church." Recent research by John Yowell... shows that pagans in Nazi Germany were not only uninfluenced, but also persecuted. The Nazis either branded or arrested the most famous representatives of paganism. Thus, in 1936, the famous specialist in runic writing, Friedrich Bernhard Marby, was arrested and sent to a concentration camp. He spent nine whole years in dungeons. And he was not the only victim. In 1941, on the direct orders of Heinrich Himmler, many pagan and esoteric societies were banned (including followers of Rudolf Steiner, Ariosophists and adherents of the Wodan religion). Most of the arrested pagans, like other victims of Hitlerism, died in concentration camps.

Japanese aristocratic classic of the early 11th century.
Quote: “It’s so cold. A young mother should take care of herself,” Mitinaga said to the empress. Nevertheless, he brought her some good thin paper, a brush, ink, and even a stone to rub on her. The Empress gave it to me. The ladies did not hide their envy, saying that I had secretly bypassed them. But nevertheless, the empress also gifted me with excellent paper and brushes.
While I was with the Empress, Mitinaga came into my room and discovered the manuscript of The Tale of Genji hidden there, which I was going to take home. He gave it to his second daughter. At that time I did not have a decently whitewashed manuscript, and this could only make me the subject of ridicule.
Ihara Saikaku . Five women who gave themselves up to love: Novels / Trans. from Japanese E. Pinus, V. Markova; preface E. Pinus. - St. Petersburg: Azbuka, 2000 (ABC-Classics series). - 288 pp.; circulation 8000 copies; ISBN 5-267-00249-6.
Japanese dirty classic of the 17th century. “The Tale of Seijuro of Himeji”, “The Tale of the Cooper Who Opened His Heart to Love”, “The Tale of the Calendar Maker Lost in His Tables”, “The Tale of the Greengrocer Who Destroyed the Sprouts of Love”, “The Tale of Gengobei, Who Loved Much”. And "The Love Story of a Lonely Woman."
Quote: This lady had an appearance that you will not see in the capital, and in the village it is unlikely that you will find another such scarecrow, but her husband was so handsome that in our time no one could compare with him in the palace of the sovereign! The couple, considering me still an innocent child, put me to sleep among themselves, and I, remembering everything in which I had succeeded well three years ago, felt like I was on fire, gritting my teeth. Suddenly, waking up from sleep, I felt that the gentleman’s foot touched me, and my vision went blurry! Listening carefully to the venerable lady's snoring, I slipped under his night clothes, trying to ignite the passion of love in him. I soon learned how difficult it can be to break up with someone you seriously love.
Jean Cocteau . In three volumes with drawings by the author. T.1. Prose. Poetry. Scripts / Transl. from fr. S. Buntman, A. Parin, N. Shakhovskaya; comp., preface and comments by Nadezhda Buntman. - M.: Agraf, 2001. - 448 p., ill.; circulation 3000 copies; ISBN 5-7784-0124-8, ISBN 5-7784-0114-0 (vol. 1).
The date “2001” on the title is not a flirtatious originality, but an indication that the fundamental three-volume project will be implemented only closer to the summer. Now we have before us thirteen poems, the poems “Rospev”, “The Angel of Ertebise” and “The Crucifixion”, the stories “Double Twine”, “The Terrible Children and the White Book”, the film scripts “The Blood of the Poet”, “Orpheus”, “The Testament of Orpheus” . The scripts, by the way, were translated by Sergei Buntman; you know very well who this is if you listen to Echo of Moscow.
From The Testament of Orpheus: The privilege of cinema is that it allows a large number of people to share a common dream, and that, in addition, it shows with all the severity of fantasy realism the unreality. In short, a great vehicle for delivering poetry.
My film is nothing more than a striptease session, which consists of gradually removing my body and finally showing my soul completely naked. After all, there is still a significant public in the shadows, hungry for what is truer than the truth and will someday become a sign of our era.
Joseph Wambaugh . On the trail of blood: Novel / Trans. from English A.I.Bazina, Yu.B.Moskalchenko. - M.: Thornton and Sugden , 2000. - 360 p.; circulation 6000 copies; ISBN 0-553-28281-6, ISBN 5-93923-006-7.
A documentary novel about the capture of a sociopath who raped and murdered two teenage girls in the village of Narborough (Leicestershire). The criminal was identified only after blood and saliva were taken from all surrounding men of childbearing age for gene analysis. Paralyzed by disgust, Wombo (author of The New Centurions) does not even try to delve into the psychology of the murderer, limiting himself to a meager recording of facts. That's why "On a Trail of Blood" is interesting to read. Unlike "Hannibal" by Thomas Harris, for example.
Quote: Among the donors were patients with AIDS and hepatitis. If they reported this in advance, saliva was collected with extreme caution. The gauze swab lay on the card, folded in half, and conveniently slipped into the mouth. But many did not do what was necessary. Some sucked on a tampon, others on cardboard. Some chewed the card, chewed the tampon, and even almost swallowed it, choking. It was not a pleasant experience.
Roald Dahl . Someone like you: Stories / Trans. from English I.A. Bogdanova. - St. Petersburg: Amphora, 2000. - 334 p.; circulation 5000 copies; ISBN 5-8301-0168-8.
Someone Like You (1953) is the first of three collections of “adult” short stories from the inventor of gremlins and author of the children's bestseller James and the Giant Peach. Fourteen piercing texts about the brilliance and poverty of human illusions; among them are at least two undisputed masterpieces: “Soldier” and “Dreamer”.
Based on the short story “The Man from the South,” Tarantino filmed the final part of the film anthology “Four Rooms.”
"Sound Machine": From the moment he started pulling until the stem broke, he clearly heard a faint, high-pitched scream in his headphones, strangely lifeless. He took another daisy and did the same with it. And again he heard a cry, but he was not so sure that this sound expressed pain. No, it wasn't pain, it was surprise. However, is this so? In reality, the sound did not express any feelings or emotions known to man. It was just a cry, a neutral, cold cry - just an emotionless note, expressing nothing. It was the same with roses. He was wrong to call it a cry of pain. The flower probably doesn't feel pain. He feels something else that is unknown to us - maybe it’s called something else?
Roald Dahl. Kiss: Stories / Trans. from English I.A. Bogdanova. - St. Petersburg: Amphora, 2000. - 365 p.; circulation 5000 copies; ISBN 5-8301-0169-6.
Kiss Kiss (1959). Eleven short stories. The peak of Dahl's formal virtuosity, but also evidence of the deep emotional fatigue of the 53-year-old writer.
"The Road to Paradise": She turned away and began to look out the window, beyond which the fog hung. The further they drove, the more it thickened, and now she could only see the edge of the road and a strip of grassy land stretching along it. She felt that her husband was still looking at her. She looked at him again and this time saw with something like horror that he was looking intently at the place in her left eye where she felt her skin twitch.
Roald Dahl. Bitch: Stories / Trans. from English and after. I.A. Bogdanova. - St. Petersburg: Amphora, 2000. - 239 p.; circulation 5000 copies; ISBN 5-8301-0170-Х.
Switch Bitch (1965). There are four long short stories in total. The plots are tragically frivolous. Two of the texts feature the elderly eccentric Oswald Cornelius, who would later become the hero of Dahl's bawdy novel Uncle Oswald.
"The Deal": The lower lip says a lot. She gives away more than her eyes. The eyes hide secrets. The lower lip manages to hide very little ... All the most unattractive features of the human individual - arrogance, greed, gluttony, voluptuousness - are most clearly manifested on this small pink area of the skin. However, you need to know the cipher. The protruded or protruded lower lip, apparently, means sensuality. But this is only partly true in relation to men and is completely wrong, if we keep in mind women. In women, you need to look for a thin line, a narrow strip with a sharply defined lower edge. But the nymphomaniac in the center of the upper lower part of the lower lip has a barely noticeable scallop of the skin.
