He goes on and on about it, and then ends the essay with the following statement: «Not that I agree with everything that I have said in this essay. There is much with which I entirely disagree. The essay simply represents an artistic standpoint, and in aesthetic criticism attitude is everything. For in art there is no such thing as a universal truth. A Truth in art is that whose contradictory is also true. And just as it is only in art- criticism, and through it, that we can apprehend the Platonic theory of ideas, so it is only in art-criticism, and through it, that we can realise Hegel's system of contraries. The truths of metaphysics are the truths of masks.» Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish poet and dramatist, famous for The Importance of Being Earnest and The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Эта повесть ничего не говорит о Боге, оставляя ее героя, мальчика Мишаню, октябренком, мечтающим о пионерах. Но при всем нынешнем (если вспомнить жанровые игры современных литераторов) «стендапстве» и « палп-фикшнстве» озорного строя повесть полна христианского света, потому что озарена любовью, так и что и самая чертовщина происходящего, где даже и Леониду Ильичу Брежневу сыщется краткая роль, летит на ангельских крыльях лучшей, редеющей сегодня и потому особенно необходимой юношеской литературы. Рассказы и стихи также раскрывают тему детства.
