Book: Boogie-woogie-Book. The author's guide to St. Petersburg that no longer exists



In the XIX century the whole Russian literature was almost a family business. Tiny business for those in the subject. Something like today's blogosphere: interesting, of course, but mostly the author and some of his buddies.

In St. Petersburg, which has long been dead, nobody is in a hurry. At least among the people with whom I communicate. All derivatives that could happen has already happened. And for a long time.
Everything that is valuable in today's St. Petersburg, due precisely to the fact that it is NOT the capital. What is a dead and therefore particularly beautiful city. Everything valuable that was born in St. Petersburg in recent decades (from the prose of Dovlatov to the songs of Tsoi, from paintings to St. Petersburg hippy raves), is only a funeral hymn. This is not a city, and his tombstone.

Live in St. Petersburg is really impossible.
But to die here - really beautiful.
A place where people live at least a few centuries, will be reminded of death. Any place - not necessarily Petersburg. Although the St. Petersburg particularly.
