банан

“Banana” is the nickname of the author, which has become attached to him since childhood. The work of Mikhail Ivanov is a classic example of the autofiction genre. This book is nothing more than a mixture of a personal diary with plot literature. "Banana" is a story from the life of a typical representative of the "golden" youth.

The main character goes through love, addiction to alcohol, a psychiatric hospital and the turbulent 90s. This is the story of one madness, hiding behind a collection of entertaining anecdotes. The manuscript was first published in Solo magazine as a separate pamphlet.

The text was edited by Alexander Mikhailov, Jr., personal friend of Mikhail Ivanov, literary critic.
