Description

“You can only write about what you know,” say the masters of the pen—but no one really knows themselves well, so the genre of autobiography is more complex than it seems. In the three novellas included in this book, the utmost honesty of Evgeny Alekhin reaches a height never before attained. Without any attempt to justify himself, without wishing to blame the whole world for his successes and failures, the lyrical hero gains experience from which a personality grows—like a flower growing from under the asphalt. Does this personality know what it is like, what awaits the hero—details and nuances matter in the process of acquiring the “self,” the ascent to it, described on these pages without undue modesty or unnecessary pathos.
*** was born in Kemerovo in 1985. He changed several universities (without finishing) and a great many jobs: from retail sales clerk to film actor. He was among the first winners of the widely advertised TV literary award “Debut”—as a result, even as a young man he got a micro-stroke. He currently follows a healthy lifestyle, living in St. Petersburg; he writes books and tours with music projects. The book “Lunokhod-1” consists of three of the author’s most lyrical and intimate prose texts, capable of becoming favorites even for the most demanding reader.
