From this collection of seventeen stories, the reader will learn how to assemble a wardrobe, what happens when you send a sms not to whom you have to, and when you go to have sex not when you need to. You will know more about the St. Petersburg merchants, bandits and brothels, and mainly about Soviet women, women from the time of post-communism, their men and lovers.
Alexander Tsypkin, the rock star of Russian literature, the hooligan writer, is able to make you laugh and cry simultaneously. With the means of irony, including self-irony, and the classic quiproquo, with lots of humor and verbal inventions, Tsypkin creates his own funny and slightly surreal world and ranks up to satirists like Zoshchenko and Koltsov.
