It's no coincidence that the novel "Maniac Gurevich" is subtitled "A Biography in Pictures." Like a kaleidoscope, you'll see funny, absurd, sad, poignant, and heartfelt stories from the life of one very good, yet slightly strange man.
— What a maniac you are, Gurevich!
This nickname literally stuck with Senya Gurevich from childhood. And not because he was actually a maniac. No. Simply because he was always lost in his fantasies and often got into trouble. One day he'd tell his parents about people screaming and laughing in the stove at night. Another day, he'd give his teacher a verse-filled birthday card: "Forty-three is a child's age! Spit and rub!"
And Senya Gurevich had to go to medical school and choose psychiatry as his life's work. What hasn't he seen over his many years of practice? He even saved a patient from a samovar while wearing cavalry boots. He also tried to rescue a poet from a psychiatric hospital. And at some point, Gurevich, his wife, and two children were caught in the winds of change and carried off into exile. Trials and changes are not for the weak. They are for those who are ready to ride a scooter onto an armored train.
