Это сладкая голая сволочь

«Rodylas y zakonchyla shkolu v Tashkente. Uchylas v Lenyngrade – LGU, kafedra ystoryy yskusstv. Nabyralas opyta v Moskve. Bolshe 30 let zhyvu vo Frantsyy. A voobshcheto, byografyya avtora, esly on ne seryynyy ubyytsa y ne prezydent strany (ynogda eto sovpadaet), chytatelya ynteresovat ne dolzhna – vsyo samoe ynteresnoe on naydyot v tekstakh. V moyom anamneze chetyre yzdannykh romana: “Kak vam zhyvyotsya v Paryzhe” (prava kupleny dlya “bolshogo” kyno), “Eta sladkaya golaya svoloch”, “Takoy nezhnyy pokoynyk”, “Shassekruaze”. Spektakl po pese “Sentymentalnyy kruyz” shyol s 2004 goda na stsene ukraynskogo Natsyonalnogo dramatycheskogo teatra ym. Y. Franko v techenye 15 let». Pered namy y masterskaya lyubovnaya ystoryya, y polytycheskyy pamflet, y shpyonskyy roman. Redkoy stroptyvosty knyga. Prezrenye k rabstvu y gymn nezavysymosty. Y geometryya velykolepna: vsyo produmano do logycheskykh melochey, zavyazano elegantnym uzlom, vse ruzhya byut v tsel. A nagrada popavshemu – sladkaya golaya svoloch, takaya zhe svoevolnaya y nezabyvaemaya, kak y sam avtor. Yvan Tolstoy, ystoryk lyteratury, zhurnalyst y lyteraturnyy krytyk

"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
