The title of this book is not intended to shock the potential reader, neither does it contain any ironic or sarcastic connotations. "Fools eat pies" is simply an inscription on one of Mikhail Roginsky's works, and in his interpretation, the “fools” were the very “poor in Spirit” who are known to be “blessed”. Roginsky understood everything in his own peculiar way; he was an artist unlike anyone else — a great artist of the 20th century, the fact recognised by many. A collection of memories of Roginsky’s friends and colleagues provide a unique opportunity to assess and appreciate in full his singular (multifaceted) personality.
