A collection of original ditties, jokes, and short parables with a St. Petersburg mood—about a funny, awkward young guy nicknamed Telenok and the people around him. The book includes comic and absurd stories he keeps getting into, as well as comments from the neurobot Alice on each text.
All characters and events in the selection are fictional. The images are generalized—like a son-in-law and a mother-in-law, a husband returned from a business trip, or a “Mercedes” and a “Zaporozhets” from classic jokes. Any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental.
