A poet from Omsk wrote a single-word book Automatic translate

OMSK. Kazakh poet Ilyubay Baktybaev-Omsky wrote a book “And after that there was a word…”, consisting of only one word. According to the author, a work in which only "Yes-ah…" is written should cause the reader to "philosophical reflection on life." It should be noted that Western literary organizations are already interested in the novel, published in a thousand copies.

According to the author, the idea of ​​writing his “nanobook”, as he calls it, came to Ilyubay’s head after a conversation with his 90-year-old father Muhidin. The veteran of the Great Patriotic War, each time recalling the events he had experienced, thoughtfully said “Yes-ah…”.

In fact, the content of the book “And then there was the word…” consists not only of “pensive yes-ah..”, on most of the pages the author printed a preface and an afterword in which he explains the meaning of writing such a work. According to Baktybaev-Omsky, saying “Yes-ah..” people think about something and comprehend the situation. And the people who heard it from others, in turn, understand that the person was thoughtful, they immediately begin to empathize and think about what the person is now thinking.

It is worth noting that earlier the writer has already written several books. On the Internet, you can find his works "How I quit smoking" and "Aphorisms", and not so long ago in the Omsk Library. A.S. Pushkin was the presentation of his collection of poems "Listening to the sky." On the page of Yulubay Baktybaev in the social network there is a photograph of a letter of thanks from the State Duma, which says that the author was awarded "for many years of work in the revival and promotion of Kazakh folk culture." The letter was signed by State Duma deputy Oleg Smolin.

Surprisingly, Ilyubay Baktybaev-Omsky is not the only author who writes in such a laconic genre. Recall that in 2012 the book of science fiction writer Yevgeny Gordeev “How to make a million” was published. In a 180-page work, one hundred were busy with one word, “work,” and on the remaining eighty, the author invited readers to present their own answers to this question.
