[Chetyre gory: Sobranie efimizmov : euphemism--eu-khorosho + phemi--govori͡u︡ (Russian Edition)

The aphorisms collected in this book are divided into four sections: Sinai, Olympus, Parnassus, and Golgotha. There is also an appendix "We, the writers." The irony and paradox characteristic of many of Efimov's novels and philosophical works appear in concentrated, purified form in the aphoristic genre. Excerpts have appeared in the journals Zvezda and Sintaxis and in the Boston Times, Panorama, etc.
