"The writer Leonid Bakhnov leafs through his life as if it were flashing by in the windows of a commuter train... Who and what flashes by there? To capture, to recall the fading features of friends and loved ones... Born under Stalin, he witnessed the collapse of four eras and recalls them now from the fifth, in which we all live—both young and old, the future readers of this book. The author, of course, has matured considerably since his Ufa childhood and Moscow youth in the famous writers' house on the "Airport." But two things remain essential: an attempt to see the past with childish eyes, unwise by adult experience. And an effort not to confuse the past with one's present self. Hence the subtle humor and jazzy syncopations of his prose, its unique rhythm, and the author's voice, which cannot be confused with any other." Marina Moskvina
