Шестая койка и другие истории из жизни Паровозова

“The Sixth Bed and Other Stories from the Life of Parovozov” is the long-awaited third book by Alexei Motorov, the author of famous memoirs of working in Moscow hospitals at the end of Soviet times. His first book, The Young Years of the Nurse Parovozov, became a bestseller and brought the debutant writer the Reader's Choice Award of the NOS Literary Prize. Then followed the equally successful Crime of Doctor Parovozov, a continuation of the adventures of a former nurse, now a certified surgeon, working in Moscow during the October 1993 coup. In The Sixth Bunk, Alexey Motorov, a master of crazy and paradoxical plots, recalls the bright moments of his life, starting from early childhood. In his inimitable manner, he tells about himself and his family, about growing up against the backdrop of Brezhnev's stagnation, about the events of the recent past and, as always, amuses the reader with incredible but genuine cases from everyday hospital life. And, of course, the unforgettable nurse Parovozov himself is again acting here.
