Description: Sasha lives with his grandparents and is going to rot away by the age of sixteen - or so his foul-mouthed Grandma says. He is not allowed to sweat, to run - or to see his mother too often. Yet living with his mother is all Sasha really wants, despite her boyfriend being a blood-sucking midget, in Grandma's words. A prize-winning bestseller in Russia, the novel was translated into many languages and made into theatrical productions and a feature film.
