Жизнь с идиотом

"... How many times does incomprehensible life present this painful gift? .. At the moment when you open Viktor Erofeev's book, you immediately experience that double effect of contact with the familiar, but completely unprecedented, the shock of meeting with hell and at the same time with paradise, happening inside each of us, that absolute incomprehensibility of something, it would seem, completely hackneyed and banal. You don’t know what to suffocate from - from indignation at the blasphemy of plots and characters, or from the rarefied atmosphere of hushed up, but clearly felt martyrdom holiness. " Alfred Schnittke
