In TrV-Nauka No. 280 dated June 4, 2019, I wrote about the book “About People and Books” by Boris Vladimirovich Dubin. The author left us in August 2014, but even five years later those who knew him are not ready to come to terms with this loss... I probably haven’t read everything Dubin wrote, if we keep in mind his numerous articles and speeches. But, as it turned out, in addition to the books I have read more than once, there is Dubin’s book, unknown to me - and also very unusual.
