The book features the latest comprehensive work by the remarkable philologist Yu.K. Shcheglov (1937-2009) - a literary and historical-cultural commentary on one of the iconic works of the 1960s - "Zatovarennaya Bochkotara" (1968) by V.P. Aksenov. The complex system of hints and omissions, subtle references to contemporary literature, irony towards Soviet language and everyday life - all that was understood at a glance by the first readers of "Bochkotara", undoubtedly requires decryption and explanation for today's readers. Moreover, Shcheglov's commentary is not only a virtuoso work of a philologist-scholar, but also astute observations of a memorable contemporary of the era and a conversationalist of Aksenov, who managed to highly appreciate the work being prepared for publication.
