The book is about the interaction of Ukraine and the West, about the place of its talents in the world and their perception by the world, about paradoxes of recognition and the beautiful vanity of the contemporary. As well as – about the phenomenon of a contemporary art exhibition as a kind of a festival, a carnival of geniuses (and "naked kings")."
