Homer, son of Mandelstam. Berkoliko Mark Zinovievich

“Homer, the son of Mandelstam” is the second edition of the Roman Homer, published ten years ago, and its new name was borrowed with the kind permission of Elena Zeephart from her review, which appeared at the same time in the journal “Banner”. Igor (Goshka) Merkushev, in childhood nicknamed Homer, is going to pass away on the day of his sixty years - this is the only way he can drive into the trap of a serious crime and relentlessly he was persecuted by a high -quality official. Talking about himself, his parents, beloved women, friends and enemies, Mercushev, the once major medical scientist, and then the vice-mayor of the millionaire city, pronounces a phrase that could become not only an epigraph for his narrative, but also a diagnosis for unbearable painful breaking of eras: “We are not lost, we are a sipped generation.”
