A famous writer came to one of my videos to say that I have a stupid, peasant face. I have a lot of experience with writers, and I know that literary talent and the personality of its holder do not intersect. I’m not in the least upset because I’m not insecure about the face. The shape of my head, yes, I’m insecure about it. It’s legit weird, although you can’t see it under the hair. But the face is a very fine face, thank you very much.

A brilliant writer whom I praised massively on this blog and everywhere else. Calling strange women peasant faces. It’s very typical.

        No, I guessed because he’s the only Russian speaking “famous writer” who would make such a comment. I mean, I’m not surprised.

          He is also the only writer of value writing in Russian today. Meaning serious literature. There is good entertainment lit but serious writers aren’t in evidence. Except Veller.

              Bykov is extremely talented as a poet. But in what concerns his prose, he’s nowhere near Veller.
