Venedikt Yerofeyev went down in literary history as the author of the iconic underground poem "Moscow — Petushki", which has already been translated into more than thirty languages. It would seem that Yerofeyev's creative legacy is not too great: "Notes of a psychopath", "Walpurgis Night", an essay about Rozanov and several other works of short prose. Meanwhile, a significant part of the writer's legacy is the diaries that he kept since the late 1950s: more than 30 notebooks and notebooks have been preserved, where biographical notes are interspersed with notes on occasion, quotations from books, songs and conversations, anecdotes, puns, his own and others' maxims, etc., becoming essentially a creative laboratory. For fans of Yerofeyev, this is truly invaluable material. This edition contains fragments from diaries from different years, including previously unpublished recordings from the 1980s.
