Memoir novel by a famous writer. Viktor Dragunsky wrote “Deniska’s Stories”, and his son wrote “Denisovs”: this is not the story of Deniska Korablev, but of his prototype. The way things really happened. The book opens the series “Dragunsky: Personal” and has many similarities with the collection by Victor Dragunsky “Today and Everyday: Non-Children’s Stories,” which continues the series “Objects of Worship.” “The True Life of Denis Korablev” is a journey deep into oneself, a dialogue with one’s literary double. An almost autobiographical novel, sincere and merciless to itself. About family, about childhood and growing up in Moscow in the 1950s and 60s, about the yard, the bicycle and my father’s Volga, about my mom and dad and their circle of friends (from famous writers to modest classmates); about an apartment in Karetny Ryad and a house in the writers' village, about dacha and school friends, about first loves, about envy, pity, stupidity and happiness.
About the ever-cheerful boy Denis Korablev, invented by Victor Dragunsky - and about the real Denis Dragunsky, whom often confused with it.
