Life is short

Sergei Dovlatov is one of the most popular and widely read Russian writers of the late twentieth and early twenty — first century. His novels, stories and notebooks translated into many languages, filmed, studied in schools and Universities. "Nature reserve", "Zone", "Foreigner", "Our", "Suitcase" — these and other amazingly funny and piercingly sad Dovlatov things have become classics. "Frostbitten toes and the ears of the head", "he drank the night before — feeling as if swallowed a rabbit hat with ears", "the alcoholism cure — alcoholism — no — jokes Dovlatov remembered at once and for life, a book I reread dozens of times. They never get bored.
