"Write confusedly, Irakli, confuse! Remember Tarantino!" This is what artist Tamara Stanko said to film director Irakli Kvirikadze when he took up a new book. He became confused — and the kaleidoscope of his fantasies sparkled with renewed vigor. Here are ironic and incredible stories about Vladimir Mayakovsky and Lavrenty Beria, Nikita Mikhalkov and Chulpan Khamatova, Kinotavr and the USSR State Cinema, fake dollars, pelicans, Budyonny's mustache and tragicomic plots from the author's life in Tbilisi, Los Angeles, Moscow. "I'm not a serious person—" he says. - I'm always writing some atypical stories..."
