An unusual prose book by Vyacheslav Pyetsukh is, as usual, bold and provocative. Especially since, as follows from the title, the author himself admits with a straight face that he is guilty of a great sin — the kind that writers always prefer to distance themselves from in every possible way. The writer has taken aim at no less than — no, not “with our beloved William Shakespeare” — but at Leo Tolstoy, Gogol, Chekhov, and S.-Shchedrin. He thought it would be interesting… In one word, you won’t get bored with him.
