Empty trains of 2022. Danilov D.A.

Dmitry Danilov - playwright (“Seryozha very stupid”), prose writer (“Horizontal position”), poet. Laureate "Yasnaya Polyana" and "Moscow Art Prize" (novel "Sasha, Hello!"), As well as the "Golden Mask" (the play "Man from Podolsk").

"empty trains of 2022" - The cycle of essays about traveling by rail, in which the discussions about Russian everyday life are interspersed with portraits of fellow travelers and the writer's stories about themselves. The unhurried examination of the usual things in an attempt to see something more behind them-this is the quintessence of the Danilov style.

“Dmitry Danilov gives the impression of a man who has just risen from the sofa for a short time, so that he will return to him as soon as possible. In a word, such a classic Oblomov... Therefore, when it turned out that he had an unusual hobby - to travel on small trains along the deaf railway branches - I was not surprised. Someone calls it "meditative tourism." But when the writer is doing this, a short circuit and outbreak occurs. ”

Pavel Basinsky

“It was good when most passengers parted when there were nameless stations and deserters. It was good when the passenger opposite suddenly said the "happy path." And everything else, too, if you think about it, was good. "
