— Buonasera.
- Oh no. Just not this.
A new star rises on the stage. Nobody knows where this person came from, the outrageous rock diva keeps his personal life in the strictest confidence. He has no competitors, no friends ... But the guy turns out to make enemies with incredible success: of course, once he is even killed. With the speed with which he gets himself into trouble and with the defiance with which he walks around the clubs, a natural question arises in society: what does Dia even want?
And not only among society, but also among colleagues in the shop. More than once, they tried to get closer to Dia and find out what kind of dough he was made of and what he was hiding behind a layer of cosmetics. Everyone was left with at least nothing and a thinner credit card. But only once does he himself show interest in someone: in the dressing room behind the scenes of the Voice of Europe competition, the singer hears a stranger performing his song amazingly ... How will their meeting end?

THE BEGINNING OF THE STORY...
HISTORY, CULTURE AND LANGUAGES
DIA is my most scandalous, harsh, provocative book. Its atmosphere and culture is the contrast of the collision of brutality and pink: blood, cigarette smoke and cruelty are erased by a hand with manicure and sequins, replaced by the smell of chewing gum and the freshness of the night streets of Rotterdam. Well, on top of such a big spoonful of detective stories.
Here, too, my love for travel books can be traced: American stars meet European ones, the reader walks through Prague, Paris, New York and Rome with each chapter. The main characters speak American, Dutch, Italian, Czech and cannot always understand each other.
The modernity of the alternative reality appears both from unpleasant and from the most attractive sides. We pass the way from gates to convertibles, huh?)

COMICS
"DIA: The Club" is a comic. A short story about one evening spent at the club. Some pranks, some lies, lots of pop culture references, and some bonuses for those who like to play sleuth.
The comic, unlike the book, is not rated. He can not be hidden from relatives (especially since Dia himself, due to the outrageous image, can easily be passed off as madam).
You can read comics without reading books. Take it separately if you are not a fan of large texts, but a fan of pictures.
The events of the comic repeat the scene of one of the chapters of the book, so if you read both, you will get a "screen adaptation". Here you can flip through the first few pages.
COMICS
P yatogo December 2021 took place the presentation of the first book. It was a wonderful event that we arranged in the very heart of Moscow, in a rock club (where else to present a book about rock stars, right?)
The event included an autograph session and dancing to the songs of Dia himself (yes, he is alive and glowing! Oh, that is, he sings and almost exists, but more on that in the next section). And for the video we thank Sergey Okunev, who conveyed all the warm atmosphere and wonderfulness of the audience.
COMICS
H ow to create a superstar? You can say in the book: "He was adored by millions." But I wanted more. I wanted the reader to feel for himself why they love Dia. I wanted to break the fourth wall and make the character come alive.
And then I synthesized his voice, creating several covers of famous tracks. Soon everyone will be familiar with Dia's voice, clear top notes and deep velvety husky. The audio recording will be available to everyone right here on the site.
