Pervaya mirovaya voyna okonchena, i na scenu yavlyaetsya novoe pokolenie. Cvet Molodezhi dvadcatyh godov korotaet dni v neutomimoy pogone za svetskimi udovol'stviyami. S paradoksal'noy smes'yu bezyskusnosti i izoshchrennosti oni uprazhnyayut svoi izobretatel'nye umy v novyh kaprizah i avantyurah. Kniga Ivlina Vo — smeshnaya, yadovitaya i derzkaya satira, obnaruzhivayushchaya pod sverkayushchim glyancem svetskogo obshchestva ziyayushchuyu temnuyu pustotu. Avtor bezzhalosten: vsya eta «merzkaya plot'» rastrachivaet zhizn' na podderzhanie usypannogo blestkami fasada naskvoz' fal'shivogo radostnogo mirka, v kotorom pytaetsya spryatat'sya ot vospominaniy ob uzhasah proshloy voyny i ne dat' prosochit'sya predchuvstviyu uzhasov gryadushchey. Roman vyshel v svet v 1930 godu, no sleduyushchaya voyna v nem predskazana i neizbezhna, i na ee fone geroi, budto obitateli Zazerkal'ya v epigrafe «Merzkoy ploti», osobenno otchayanno begut, tol'ko «chtoby ostat'sya na tom zhe meste».
