Assembled from Olesha’s numerous notebooks after his death, the book resembles a memoir, but it is in fact a mix of sketches, essays, and other forms of writing that defies categorization. It is often compared to Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s equally complex The Diary of a Writer.

A humorous tale about the deteriorating relations between two groups: the rabbits and boa constrictors, Iskander's novella, like Animal Farm, is also a humorous critique of power.
The L.A. Times says "Iskander takes a worthy place in the tradition of Russian satirists, the Gogol of DEAD SOULS, the Nabokov of LOLITA."
This novel originally appeared in Russian in the West in 1982.
