Koba Imedashvili (b. 1935), a well-known writer and publicist: “My century, a subjective mixture of the past, present and future, has finished. Likewise, this book has been completed: a fragmented reflection of everything my conscience and subconscious have preserved in a random rather than chronological order. Everything is ‘here and now’, even those events that happened centuries or a minute ago, or will happen in a second or I just will them to happen. Only after me all of this will become an unlimited and indefinite past.”
