In Marusya Klimova's oeuvre there's a surprising combination of postmodernist irony, immoralism, misanthropy and adherence to a cult of pure beauty and genius in the spirit of decadence of the Age of Art Nouveau.
In her autobiographical novels («Blue Blood» (1991), «The Little House at Bois-Colombes» (1998), «The Blonde Beasts» (2001)) there's a wide panorama of European life around 80s-90s described.
The author creates the images of newly appeared Russian dandies and transvestites, who easily change their masks and dresses.
Classical Russian writers' destinies and works are represented and seen in that book as the facts and from the perspective of personal biography of the author.
This book, abounding of paradoxical and exaggerated subjective judgements, has caused a huge indignation in readers' minds and environment.
