Подобного издания в России не было уже почти девяносто лет. Предыдущий аналог увидел свет в далеком 1930 году в Издательстве писателей в Ленинграде. В нем крупнейшие писатели той эпохи рассказывали о времени, о литературе и о себе – о том, «как мы пишем». Среди авторов были Горький, Ал. Толстой, Белый, Зощенко, Пильняк, Лавренёв, Тынянов, Шкловский и другие значимые в нашей литературе фигуры. Издание имело оглушительный успех. В нынешний сборник вошли очерки тридцати шести современных авторов,...
