About the book: 2003 / "Garik Osipov manages to fit an entire era into a small episode - with its slightly exotic aroma, which only people can taste placing himself above time." Jalouse “Garik Osipov pushed the boundaries of the banal, showed how to avoid the temptation to turn self-sufficiency into bad taste.” Playboy “Count Khortytsia demonstrates the most correct idea in life - total and irrevocable egoism in any external conditions.” OM “The pretentiousness of Garik Osipov’s texts is as unpretentious as he himself. It seems that a little more - and the author will falsify, fall into false significance. But that’s why he’s a dandy, to walk on the razor’s edge while listening to Elvis Presley and Valery Obodzinsky.” GQ “The bad can be best when bad is all you got.” Charlie Manson (from a letter to Osipov from 13.03.2003)
