Welcome to Litsy!

This book is fantastic.
You know, sometimes I think reviewing books is nonsense-there is no rhyme or reason to why I like a book. With this one, I didn't even care to learn enough about events or people he was referencing because somehow just the tone and style of the whole thing had me smitten. Sometimes you just have a crush on a book and that's all there is to it. #newyearsreadathon

"My sorrow comes to see me and sits at the same table with me.
I have conversations with him.
Yet the doctor says that my blood pressure is normal and that my hallucination is only a literary phenomenon."

Occasionally you get some letters in reply; they are always my favorite.

The Perfect December Morning, or I Am Still Enjoying This Odd Russian Book, God Bless Odd Russians

I do not know how to show you all what's fascinating about this book without quoting you far too long a portion. All this to say, this book is both weird and cool and turning out even better than expected, I think.
