When one talented author takes the life and work of another talented author to create his satirical work, there is always something incredibly interesting and paradoxical.

To see this, it is enough to pick up Gorin's book and read his play "The House That Swift Built." Although, now you can not only read - but also look in the new production.

No, this work is not a novice on the stage of the capital's theaters, but each of his productions becomes an opening. And not only because each reads this in its own way an extraordinary work, but because the depth of meanings in it is such that it is possible to interpret the world of the "mad" Dean Swift, in whose house almost all his literary characters live.

What will this time come out all these Guingnms, Laputians, giants ... What new things will open in their discourse and what will the author of today talk about with them today?

There are so many questions, before the premiere it remains quite a bit and one can still give thought, well, even peep, as the rehearsals are going on. And then with pleasure to go to the premiere!

Only now, they did not develop then. The parents interfered, they were planted in the corners. Scandals, misunderstandings ... how many tears were shed, but had to leave, for as long as twenty years. After all, we did not have the heart to say - no, we love each other, we will be together ...

There Pushkin, and here ... so-so ...

He went to Berlin, he! Son of an aristocratic family, and now a Russian emigre. He earns a living for lessons, and he writes the novel himself.

And there are no examples of future catastrophes, not even the details of the time worked out to the scrupulousness. And they are not needed, because the main thing is the world in which the creator lives.

And he is amazing, rumbling trams, knocks the doors of the open windows, runs somewhere fast-paced lines from the already written.

And in this world of his fantasies, firmly knit together with the oddities of the real world, even he finds his "second self", a sort of "Literary Necessity", as if shading his earthly path, and sometimes even criticizing him.

Here he, disheveled, like a sparrow in the spring, rushes off somewhere, talking to someone "for life."

And here its "critic": the well-fed, with long either Gogol's, or, perhaps, a nose of the Cyrano, a little slack step of Chaplin drags the huge suitcases. And there….

Why is there nothing in the "baggage" of this "Literary Necessity": both books, and records, and everything for what? For inspiration ... To be written better! And also, to entice into the world of creativity and, perhaps, save from earthly upheavals.

But after all the true talent, that "gift" which is incorporated in any present creator, always will help it to survive, even when there is nothing to buy a patty. And still dashed off the horizon after the dream.
