The themes he explores range from war to ritual, history and cars.
Nagibin's mother was pregnant with him when his father was executed as a counter-revolutionary before he was born. He was raised by a Jewish stepfather from infancy, and was unaware of that he had a different father, so he always assumed he was Jewish himself.

May 25, 2012Я купила эту книгу 14 февраля 2011 года в букинистическом магазине Книгиня... помню, в тот день мне принесли цветы от Люсика и ещё нашёлся и впервые за 10 с лишним лет позвонил Я ков Абрамович из Парижа. А читать начала только сейчас, так как нахожусь в поисках красивого русского языка...
