Grigory Sluzhitel was born in 1983 in Moscow. He graduated from the directing department of GITIS (Sergey Zhenovach's workshop), acted at the Studio of Theatre Arts, and was the lead singer of the band O'Casey. "The Days of Savely" is his first book; the novel was longlisted for the NOS Prize. Evgeny Vodolazkin discovered the manuscript and wrote the foreword.

"Cats in literature are not a new theme. I won't list everyone who has written about these sacred animals—from Ernst Theodor Hoffmann's Murr the Cat to Ilya Boyashov's Muri. And now Savely. We understand that humans always shine through behind cats. Sluzhitel's characters—whoever they are, cats or people—are real. Lonely and suffering, laughing and loving. The love in this novel deserves special mention. It just so happens to be platonic. "The highest of all loves." (Evgeny Vodolazkin)
