"The characters in this book - the mysteries of their fates and creations - made me do things I never intended to do. Catullus induced me to learn Latin to uncover the secret of his famous love affair with Lesbia; Khodasevich encouraged me to make a hydrological study of the Brenta River; Nietzsche forced me to wander through Venice to understand how his thinking was organized; Thomas Wolfe made me feel what it was like to be under the muzzle of a Colt .45 caliber, aimed at you by a ruthless critic .... Everyone disposed of me at his discretion, while I was sick of his life and mysteries". Vladislav Otroshenko. The book is illustrated with drawings by Natalia Tolstaya.
