A fresh book from the author of «Мадам», «Чарли 2.0», «Добрее» and «Старшая по подъезду».
Under one cover—two works by Alexander Bessonov at once.
Alexander Bessonov is an author and showman, a prominent figure online, followed by more than 300,000 readers.
Since 2022, he has been taking literary evenings on the road to different cities on a regular basis: on stage, characters from his previous collections—«ЧАРЛИ», «ДОБРЕЕ», «МАДАМ» and «СТАРШАЯ ПО ПОДЪЕЗДУ»—have already come to life.
Now two books are being released that form the basis for Bessonov’s new, most in-demand programs. Stories from the «АЛЛО, БАБУШКА, ЭТО САША!» series instantly became hits: «Wedding» has garnered over 2 million views, and «I decided to run away from home»—5 million. At the «БеспринцЫпные чтения» festival, Maksim Matveev read «Hello, grandma, mom is getting fat!»—the recording went online and caused a real sensation. Based on these and other texts, an eponymous show was staged: it was performed about 200 times in 100 cities, and the program’s total views approached 1.5 million.
The tragically comic novella «The Odyssey of a Middle-Aged Man» also became the foundation for a new stage program.
As before, the book is adorned with illustrations by the popular online artist Dmitry Pyankov.
