Twenty Crazy Men

About the Book

Twenty Crazy Men (The Autumn of the Patriarch*) Warning! Try on the metaphors for strength and the epithets for charm. There are three suicides in Lithuania every day. This novel is an escape from the chronic disease. You trust in me as in a female mammoth. Well, you are correct. The smart people prefer the ballet of prose. You can become a star of prose when you start dreaming about being a writer at the age of six. Napoléon had the same desire, the dream of the truncated head and violence of words. As Napoléon said, “Every soldier of my army is carrying a marshal’s staff in his backpack.” Waterloo. The situation is changing every second. This ballet of prose with an allusion to Márquez will not fall into the nettles. We slowly came to a conclusion that this novel might be inferior, but it will carry the same feature of Márquez. I met Márquez at Moscow Film Festival twice. We took a picture together there. And he said “Take it and use it” when I praised his title The Autumn of the Patriarch. I had his permission to take it but after his death. Well, it was still a green light. Márquez gave me permission, just as a priest might. You are either self-critical or dead. The goal is to be a person who can evaluate his problems, controlled by the talented psychiatrist. It’s important to trust that the solution to paranoia will be invented. One cannot lose their faith. We will record it in the book of the rules for the best prose player. There are no wrong medicines, no wrong methodology. You only need to hit the top ten.
