Notes of the Lunatic

“The lunatic” isn’t a diagnosis; my protagonist continues the ancient tradition ascending to the classical Greek and Roman literature and to Shakespearean characters. His madness is very wise. Despite of his apparent despondency, the lunatic is very tenacious of life. His soul dies many times only to revive being stronger. His emotions are complicated; they are emotions of a philosopher. Please, don’t look for logic in the sequence of poems that form his diary. In the original Russian version his experiences are listed in the simplest possible order: alphabetically.

My special gratitude to Kristina Shramkovskaya whose ideas helped me when I worked on “Holy foolishness” and “Pray of the Lunatic”.
