Groskop has discovered the meaning of life in Russian literature. As she knows from personal experience, everything that has ever happened has already happened in these novels: from not being sure what to do with your life (Anna Karenina) to being in love with someone who doesn't love you back enough (The Master and Margarita), or being socially anxious about your appearance (all of Chekhov's work). This is a literary self-help memoir, with examples from the author's own life that reflect the lessons of literature--only in a much less poetic way than Tolstoy probably intended.
