Ivlin VU is an outstanding English writer, one of the subtlest stylists in the English prose of the twentieth century, the creator of grotesque-mocking and sometimes sinister fantasies, in which life realities were fancifully suffered slowly, but faithfully, which was fired into the past of the British empire. In the novel “Unbelined” (1948), his satirical view turned to America, its consumer spirit, “meager furniture of intelligence” and the stupid optimism of the average American, but the main characters of the book are immigrants from England, and in the absurdity of what is happening and impassive of the author’s tone. True British black humor. The plot of this, according to the definition of the writer himself, the “Anglo-American tragedy” (and, in fact, black comedy) rotates around the California funeral bureau “rustling Dol”, where the mourners are called waiting in the wings, and the dead are unforgettable, where death can be accepted- through the efforts of the make-up artists and balmers are a variety of guises (from hopeless to the blissful-stronger) and where, oddly enough, there is also a place of love
