Это сладкая голая сволочь

"Rodilasʹ i zakonchila shkolu v Tashkente. Uchilasʹ v Leningrade - LGU, kafedra istorii iskusstv. Nabiralasʹ opyta v Moskve. Bolʹshe 30 let zhivu vo Frant͡sii. A voobshcheto, biografii͡a avtora, esli on ne seriĭnyĭ ubiĭt͡sa i ne prezident strany (inogda ėto sovpadaet), chitateli͡a interesovatʹ ne dolzhna - vsë samoe interesnoe on naĭdët v tekstakh. V moëm anamneze chetyre izdannykh romana: "Kak vam zhivëtsi͡a v Parizhe" (prava kupleny dli͡a "bolʹshogo" kino), "Ėta sladkai͡a golai͡a svolochʹ", "Takoĭ nezhnyĭ pokoĭnik", "Shassekruaze". Spektaklʹ po pʹese "Sentimentalʹnyĭ kruiz" shël s 2004 goda na st͡sene ukrainskogo Nat͡sionalʹnogo dramaticheskogo teatra im. I. Franko v techenie 15 let". Pered nami i masterskai͡a li͡ubovnai͡a istorii͡a, i politicheskiĭ pamflet, i shpionskiĭ roman. Redkoĭ stroptivosti kniga. Prezrenie k rabstvu i gimn nezavisimosti. I geometrii͡a velikolepna: vsë produmano do logicheskikh melocheĭ, zavi͡azano ėlegantnym uzlom, vse ruzhʹi͡a bʹi͡ut v t͡selʹ. A nagrada popavshemu - sladkai͡a golai͡a svolochʹ, takai͡a zhe svoevolʹnai͡a i nezabyvaemai͡a, kak i sam avtor. Ivan Tolstoĭ, istorik literatury, zhurnalist i literaturnyĭ kritik

"I was born and graduated from high school in Tashkent. Studied at Leningrad State University, Department of Art History. I gained experience in Moscow. I have been living in France for more than 30 years. In general, the biography of the author, if he is not a serial killer and not the president of the country (sometimes it coincides), the reader should not be interested – he will find all the most interesting things in the texts. I have four published novels in my anamnesis: “How do you live in Paris” (the rights were bought for the “big” movie), “This sweet naked bastard", “Such a gentle dead man", “Chassecroise". The play based on the play "Sentimental Cruise" has been on the stage of the Ukrainian National Drama Theater named after I. Franko for 15 years since 2004." This is a masterful love story, a political pamphlet, and a spy novel. A book of rare obstinacy. Contempt for slavery and the anthem of independence. And the geometry is great: everything is thought out to the logical smallest detail, tied in an elegant knot, all the guns hit the target. And the reward for the victim is a sweet naked bastard, as self–willed and unforgettable as the author himself. Ivan Tolstoy, literary historian, journalist and literary critic
