Ne Videli Li Vy Pevitsy? Istorii fantasticheskie i smeshnye

Zdes' pyat' istoriy, pyat' nebol'shikh povestey. Kak prinyato v fantasticheskom mire - zdes' vse vozhmozhno, i vse nelepo. Lyubaya mechta mozhet pererodit'sya v grotesk, a grotesk - v filosofskie rassuzhdeniya (o besmyslennosti zhizni, chto yavlyaetsya ee okonchatel'nym smyslom). Personazhi, chashche vsego, otpetye negodyai ili besprosvetnye tupitsy, no imenno takie oni stanovyatsya provodnikami v mire, kotoryy, chem fantastichnee i neveroyatnee, tem blizhe nashey real'nosti. V etom mire mozhno besedovat' s televizorom, a rezinoyy rukav v odno mgnovnie mozhet stat' rayskim zmeem. No chitatelyu predlagaetsya ne oplakivat' gor'kie sud'by mira sego, a prezhde vsego posmeyat'sya nad tem, chto prinyato nazyvat' Velikim Zlom. Nemnogo melankholii, kotoruyu privnosyat personazhi bolee blagorodnye, kak raz pokazyvaet smekhotvornost' tekh, u kotorykh v zhizni edistvennaya tsel' - stat' vliyatel'nymi i chereschur vazhnymi.
