Overview

2015 is declared a year of literature in Russia. But what is it for a writer to live the year of literature? Neighbor informs the writer that his house will be demolished for the construction of the highway. The highway project is posted on the Internet. And you can see a schematically designated house, where the famous contemporary writers have gathered recently: Alisa Ganieva, Anna Kozlova, Pavel Sanaev, Sergei Shargunov, Anton Sekisov and others. Months of waiting are on. And the writer decides to live as if nothing happened. He's writing.
