Sergei Dovlatov is one of the most popular and widely read Russian writers of the late 20th century - early 21st century. His novels, stories and notebooks have been translated into many languages, filmed, studied at school and universities. 'Reserve', 'Zone', 'Foreigner', 'Ours', 'Suitcase' - these and other surprisingly funny and piercingly sad Dovlatov things have long become classics. 'I froze my toes and ears of my head', 'I drank the day before - it feels like I swallowed a hare's hat with ears', 'alcoholism is curable - drunkenness is not' - you remember Dovlatov's jokes immediately and for life, and you re-read his books dozens of times. They never get boring.
