An extremely negative review by paper film critic N Roman Kachanov and Ivan Okhlobystin of the film “Down House” by (banter on the themes of “The Idiot” by Dostoevsky) after an energetic sidebar continues as follows: “Climbing the slope, Myshkin and Adelaide involuntarily admired Moscow. “I like to pee here.” , - Adelaide said sadly. “If you want, prince, let’s pee together.” That’s enough, sir. I haven’t seen the picture, but most likely, there, as in the script , it’s not Adelaide, but Aglaya who says and does something similar (sc. 73). Isn’t it too tense do you think about a white monkey? A reputable weekly magazine publishes a fragment of the memoirs of Asya Pekurovskaya online , the first wife of Sergei Dovlatov (the full memoirs will be published as a book in the St. Petersburg publishing house "Symposium", and are available from January 23 this year). The excerpt is dedicated to the human relationship between Dovlatov and Brodsky. More precisely, the almost complete absence of these relationships. On Tuesdays, a review column traditionally appears in one of the capital's newspapers under the vaguely familiar heading “Reading Circle.” Circle..." - a review of February thick magazines from the famous critic O. Today in " Traditionally rich in sniper epithets; Without their help, you won’t be able to fit into the Procrustean newspaper format. For example, the poems of Vladimir Salimon O characterizes as “sad, angular and tender , ” the novel by Leonid Zorin as “short, but succinct and self-sufficient . ” Please also pay attention to the negative assessment of " Real Estate " by Andrey Volos - applicant for the State Prize of the Russian Federation. The main prose writer of the city of Perm, Nina Gorlanova ( the story she wrote together with her husband, O , see just above, aptly called “cute” ) gives an interview to the correspondent of the paper week. “My husband has some kind of coherent theory about Pelevin. Glory! (Looks into the next room.) He’s sleeping. My husband is actually a genius . ” An online information portal reports the death of American novelist Robert Ludlum , author of the conspiracy thrillers The Scarlatti Legacy , The Chancellor Manuscript and The Bourne Identity . Obviously, this is some other Ludlum unknown to us, not the one who composed “The Scarlatti Legacy” and “The Bourne Identity.” However, Having looked at another online resource, we are convinced that the deceased Ludlam is still the same one, and domestic idiot publishers incorrectly translated the title of his bestseller The Aquitaine Progression. It was not the “Aquitaine Conspiracy” that was needed, but the “Aquitaine Sequence” , okay? This is a novel about mathematicians, not about spies. Journalist P presents a block of operational book summaries in his daily newspaper. Until now , P’s judgments about literature have been distinguished by their directness, causticity and impartiality, but now for some reason he has turned 180 degrees.

Only the last miniature of the selection is more or less informatively useful - about the collected works of Korney Chukovsky (M.: Eldo). During the first, which is devoted to the gills of little-known facts, paradoxical interpretations and original concepts of Andrei Zorin’s monograph “Feeding the Double-Headed Eagle” (M.: UFO), P managed not to mention a single name, not to retell a single specific plot. Completely abstract discussions about “literature and ideology” , it’s as if it’s not Zorin lying in front of the reviewer, but Mikhail Berg.

The middle note is, in fact, not an analysis of the historical detective story by Leonid Yuzefovich “Harlequin Costume”, but a bilious philippic addressed to G. Sh. Chkhartishvili: they say, Akunin is a shoemaker, he was quoted exclusively for lack of fish, but now a true master of the genre has descended to the public. It seems to me that the resurrection of the detective Putilin to a new, popular and widely circulated life, plus the synchronous appearance of a St. Petersburg escheat clone with the telling surname Vyzhigin, really puts Fandorin and Pelagia in a fundamentally different context. Only this context is not cruelly competitive, but, on the contrary, gentle and distributive. Taking into account the stratification of market entities by level of IQ. What kind of competition can there be here? Kasparov and Maradona, being in their right mind, will not compare their strength. Neither on the football field, nor at the chessboard.
