Waiting hall: two and a half stories in quarantine. Nikitinsky L.V.

Leonid Nikitinsky believes that journalism and literature are very different professions, and the “writer” is the one who can earn a living by this. In fact, in life and in books (and in the publishing house “Time” his book “White Carriage” was previously published). He mixes journalism and literature in different proportions. The story “Quarantine”, as the author writes, “completely invented”, but he will tell about the life and morals of the Constitutional Court no less than a high -quality newspaper report. But actually more published by the “New Gazeta”, he immediately caused the approval of some others. Only now, no one accused the author of the author’s life. The story "Alibi" is a grotesque, a phantasmagoria. But the fact that they did not read on the network about members of close election commission, crawling out of the sites along the fire stairs with a pack of false ballots in the teeth? Perhaps, in the "Waiting hall" of the writer Nikitinsky is more than a journalist. This is the case that he writes like this: the heroes were born in the head of the author, "and then they all run on their own, and we only need to carefully monitor them." The heroes of Leonid Nikitinsky to follow excitingly and anxiously - they are very unpredictable. But books about them are “smart, human and tender” - the definition of Lyudmila Ulitskaya.
