Roman YUriya Polyakova Lyubov′ v epochu peremen opravdyvaet svoe nazvanie. Eto tonkoe povestvovanie o slozhnych otnosheniyach glavnogo geroya Geny Skoryatina, redaktora ezhenedel′nika Mir i my, s tremya glavnymi zhenshhinami ego zhizni. I v to zhe vremya eto pervaya v otechestvennoj literature popytka razobrat′sya v epoche Perestrojki, zhestko rasseyat′ mify, ponyat′ ee tajnye pruzhiny, svetlye i temnye storony. Vprochem, i o sovremennoj Rossii avtor pishet v surovych tradiciyach kriticheskogo realizma. Kak vsegda chitatelya zhdut ostryj syuzhet, yarkie charaktery, yazvitel′naya satira, ostrye slovechki, neozhidannye sravneniya, smelye eroticheskie metafory... Odnim slovom, vse to, za chto nastoyashhie ceniteli slovesnosti tak lyubyat prozu YUriya Polyakova.
