	About advantage of reading of another's letters I know Nickolai Rosedkina from the middle of 80th years of the last century, together took part in any literary seminar in Maleevke. Now it already the chairman of the Tambov literary organisation. The author of thirteen books and the encyclopaedia "Dostoevsky". Recently on eyes its last novel "Ljupof" (publishing house "Voice-press") has got to me. The name ironical, deformed from a word "love". At first I have thought, what is it — about the present semiliterate teenagers who have played in "ljupof". No. Heroes of product — quite adult people, one of them even the professor, the writer of fifty godkov, another — the student-journalist. Alexey Alekseevich Domashnev and Alina Latunkina. And all novel is built in an epistolary genre, deeply rare and thoroughly forgotten partially. And at all in epistolary, and in elektronno-computer, it and the subtitle carries: the Email-novel. Well, it is in own way new, in the spirit of time. The main thing, I that he has not appeared «computer prose» which Vladimir Krupin has defined one capacious word — gladkopis thought. After all the computer, that speak, frequently starts to prevail over the author, prompts to it: that is correct and as is not correct, creating that — "gladkopis". But, thanks God, it in Sergey Rosedkina's novel is not present all. And there can be, it even purposely, revolting against a prose computerisation, would cross out bukovki and "in" in a word "love" that was humanly. Such here it — ljupof — not accessible to the rules, not subject to laws and ulozhenijam. Domashnev has grown fond of the girl for thirty years more youngly, it it is too. At first, the truth, having decided to fool around, "was trained" from the forty-year. In it, in general, there is nothing outstanding. Our national actors only also do, that in the wife one take younger another. Writers do not lag behind also. Leonid Zhuhovitsky, apparently, has concluded bonds Gimeneja with otrokovitsej time in four more youngly it. All welcome. Too in own way ljupof. Questions are not present. Questions are put by Sergey Rosedkin — and before the characters, and before us, readers. And first of all the such: where comfort and where discomfort in love? What there is a love-hatred, whether there can be it two-headed, with mutually exclusive feelings? Treachery in love — whether rescue? Who object and who the subject of change in a love triangle? How to live-exist without love? And, certainly, immemorial Russian questions concerning love: who is guilty and what to do? The author asks, tells humorously-drama history, but itself, certainly, the questions does not answer — has not put it of the writer. Only the most bad author there and then, in the novels, prompts to the reader any answers. The original literature that also is great, that she forces the person to think, reflect and over sense of own existence, and world around existence in general. How «to be or not to be?» And answers are necessary only in crossword puzzles (and all the same they will be wrong). Here and Sergey Rosedkin as the professional writer, only bothers the reader, excites its that erotic, is gentle-lyrical, farcical or tragical scenes, driving on love-ljupofi labyrinths. And does it on limited enough space — letters already mean a certain isolation, this very inconvenient field for the prose writer (I some times tried to undertake an epistolary genre, but and has not dared). But the subject labyrinth at the author is all the same built, and the reader himself should find of its a way out. Its light or a meeting with a Minotaur expects? A question opened. As it is told in this novel — glance in own soul, during own life... Postscript. In 1879 Feodor Mihajlovich Dostoevsky wrote from Ems to the wife Anna Grigorevne: «And well if who reads our letters? Certainly, but after all and let; let envy …» Alexander TRAPEZNIKOV. «Literary Russia», On August, 18th, 2006; «The Tambov almanac» № 3, December, 2006
