The principle of an ordinary miracle is the basis of Shefner's writing (it is not for nothing that Shefner and Schwartz begin with the same letter). And - the simplicity of his modest geniuses, who do not think much about what kind of miracle they have invented (for them, this is an everyday matter); the main thing is that this miracle brings joy to at least someone. And - the "complexity" of his other characters, those who perform practical miracles: tetrahedral bicycle spokes, soap called "Don't Steal", filled from the inside with a black liquid that marks the thief. And ... Many of these "ands" - and make up the essence of the amazing phenomenon called Vadim Shefner. The master wrote a lot. The poignantly sad, wonderful "Sister of Sorrow". More than two dozen books of lyric poetry. But he was best at stories about eccentric people, where fantasy is so closely intertwined with reality that it is difficult to determine the genre to which these works belong. Here, if we compare (although any comparison is from the evil one), Shefner can be placed next to Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the father of what was called in literature "magical realism". Only not on Latin American soil, but on Russian soil. The collection includes the best of what the writer has created in this genre.
