I wrote some "Preface" and Sergey Naumov (Vnuki Dadzhboga) edited it and
it came out a little too short:
"58 s Polovinoj ili zapiski lagernogo pridurka" by V.S. Fried,
Part I and Part II In English, I believe, it would sound as:
"58 and a half or the notes of a camp's dork".
The manuskript was published monthly in the "Kinostsenari" magazine.

V.Freed and V.Dunski made screenplays for some of most cherished movies
of the soviet period: Sluzhili dwa towarischa, Ekipazh, Zaterjannij w
Sibiri and many,many more. It is not a known fact that they also made
Chelovek-Amfibija which was classic many years ago. I was a personal friend
of his and worked together with his son A.Fried at Adobe Systems for several
years.
Please let me know if you liked the book and took it in so I can spread the
word.
