Lazar Ristovsky’s short novel, The White Suit, based on the screenplay for the film of the same name, is the finale of a major authorial endeavor, unique in our culture. The producer, screenwriter, director and lead actor of the movie “White Suit”, Ristovski, is now emerging as a novelist, showing, in the right way, that where giftedness and high professionalism imply, versatility does not have to interfere with the creation of works possessing certain artistic values. There are almost no similar examples in our country, and on an international scale, actor and writer Sam Shepard could serve as an approximate and very charming rapper.

“How I Got an Oscar …” was originally a film script that, after a 10-year hiatus, turned Ristovski into a literary work. According to the author, the novel itself is about everything a reader would like to experience in life, and for which there is no courage. He says that he experienced everything in a dream, but that the reader would not believe it to be true he chose the form of a dream dream. What’s unusual is that all the heroes are real, Ristovski is at the forefront of the story, while the events are fictional.

The simple stories of bird, love, evil, river, death, loneliness, duplicate, mirror, suicide, fear, ship, futility, bicycle, tear, joy, nobility, sea … go unchallenged into strange stories. In the haiku novels of Ristovski, all the stories in the set, fiction, humor. He does this often, masterfully, the way he plays in theater and on film.
