About the author:
Sergey Dovlatov was born on September 3, 1941 in Ufa. The set of his first book was destroyed by order of the KGB. Published in samizdat. In 1978, due to the persecution of the authorities, Dovlatov emigrated from the USSR, settled in the Forest Hills area in New York, where he became the chief editor of the weekly newspaper "New American".

Dovlatov emigrated at the age of 37, and already in 49 he did not become, died of heart failure away from their homeland. He has repeatedly said that he left, in order to become a writer, he did not publish it in the USSR.
The best biography of Assistova is written by them: "I was born in a not very friendly family. I was mediaued at school. It was expelled from the university. He served three years in camp guard. Wrote stories that could not publish. Was forced to leave his homeland. In America I never became a rich or successful person. My children are reluctant to speak Russian.

He became the second Russian writer, after Nabokov, who was printed in a Solid New Yorker.

Sergey Dovlatov One of the most talented Soviet-American writers and journalists. In his works, he was openly and simply told about a person and life - without metaphor and embellishment, exaggerations and shortcomings. His works are translated into many languages \u200b\u200bworldwide and enjoy well-deserved popularity.
Sergey Donatovich graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of the Leningrad State University and moved to Tallinn, where he began to work in the specialty. Until 1975, Dovlatov lived in Estonia, and then returned to Leningrad, however, his writing talent remained unnoticed. For publications in Samizdat and in the Emigrant magazines "Continent", "Time and We" followed the exception from the Union of Journalists of the USSR, the persecution of the authorities and the forced departure from the country in 1978. In America, the writer began a completely different life: his prose collections are published one by one, by the mid-1980s, he becomes one of the most popular writers in the United States.
As a basis of all his works, the author took only real stories, whose witness, for the most part, was he himself. Sergey did not like to call himself a writer, he had more like the story of the narrator: "The narrator says about how people live. Proser - about how people should live. Writer - about what people live. " The task of all works, their main meaning, according to Dovlatov, was the restoration of the norm. Each absurd situation, which is found in a particular product of the author, on the contrary, pushed the reader, to feel the normal, natural flow of life. For live dialogues, bright sketches and the fine irony of Dovlatov hid his own vision of life.
In 1995, five years after Sergey Dovlatov's death, his native Leningrad was established a literary award of his name, which was awarded either by the St. Petersburg writer for the best story, or for the story printed in St. Petersburg.
