Yuri Vyazemsky has been hosting the TV show “Clever and Smart” for 17 years, head of the Department of World Literature and Culture at MGIMO … and writes books. His writing debut, The Jester, a collection of short stories, was released in 1982 and became a «literary sensation.» The current collection includes early works. The plots of Vyazemsky are paradoxical and always mathematically verified. In the images of strange wise men, the features of Salinger’s poignant heroes are sometimes guessed. “Smart people are always somewhat strange both for those around them and for themselves in unexpected life situations,” says Yuri Vyazemsky. His stories seem to exist outside of time. After all, the space that interests Vyazemsky is the inner world of a person, and the subject of description is the life of the soul.
