A short, nostalgic story by one of the leading contemporary authors writing in Russian, winner of the Russian Booker and Big Book prizes, Alexander Ilichevsky. This is a journey into the past, undertaken by several old friends, rafting along the surface of a wide river. It's no spoiler to say that in this short but emotionally charged journey, lingering grievances and undecayed skeletons will surface from the depths of memory, and the wounds of youth will be so exposed that only old friendship can heal them—or can it? Ilichevsky's dialogue-filled story is a frozen cast of a past that is never serene. And no one will leave feeling offended. Or rather, like this: and no one will leave.
