Sasha Filipenko’s “Ideas” is a resonant novel about sad screenwriters who write jokes day after day for the program “Projectorperiskhilton.”

This is a book you simply must listen to! The main character is a vivid, paradoxical, unusual, and sharply contemporary figure—a professional television writer who comes up with jokes for television hosts. It’s not an easy job. Especially if today you were fired in the afternoon, you’ve just divorced from your wife, and in the morning your cat ran away from you…

“Ideas” by Sasha Filipenko is a very personal, piercing novel that touches on many painful issues of our time. It’s no accident the book received several literary awards.

Literary awards:

— The longlist of the National Bestseller award

— The magazine “Znamya” prize
