The Pros and Cons of Chicken Being

An excellent reference book

Writing Style

This reads like a serious chicken manual and is very funny indeed. The use of English has a slightly foreign feel, which, for me, works a treat and sets the writing in a lovely mood. Would love to read more!

  • well, I enjoyed reading The Pros and Cons and it has a life of its own - lovely work and keep it up! The best observers of English manners were often Irish playwrights so you may have a unique perspective on British mores.... Best, Phil

  • Thank you Philip, I'm glad that you liked this little piece (drafted in 2004) which was my first attempt not only to write a prose but also to write it in English so unfortunately it was doomed to have a thick Russian accent. I greatly appreciate your review as I truly enjoyed reading your works and hope they all will be on the screen.
