Grigory Sluzhitel was born in 1983 in Moscow. Graduated from the directing department of GITIS (workshop of Sergei Zhenovach), actor of the Studio of Theater Art, lead singer of the band O'Casey. "Days of Savelius" - his first book, the novel was included in the long list of the prize "NOS". Yevgeny Vodolazkin found this manuscript and wrote the foreword.
"Cats in literature is not a new theme. I won't list all those who have written about these sacred animals, from Ernst Theodor Hoffman's Murr's Cat to Ilya Boyashov's Muri. And now Savely. We understand that behind the cats there are human beings every time. Servant's heroes - whoever they are, cats or humans - are real. Lonely and suffering, laughing and loving. The love in this novel deserves special words. It is - as it happens - platonic. The highest of all loves."
