En el verano de 1980, pocos dias antes de la ceremonia de apertura de los celebres Juegos Olimpicos boicoteados por multitud de paises tras la invasion sovietica de Afganistan, Liza Klein y su madre abandonan Moscu para pasar tres dias en el campo, pero ni siquiera estas breves vacaciones permiten a la joven descansar de la severa educacion que le impone su protectora madre de origenes aristocraticos. A traves de la relacion entre ambos personajes, la autora revisita lugares olvidados para reconstruir el pasado: ¿que supone haber nacido y crecido en la Union Sovietica?, ¿en que consistia aquella educacion y hasta que punto era, pese a todo, sovietica la que inculcaron a sus vastagos las elites nacidas del deshielo?

El pueblo de Pequeñísimo era tan diminuto, que sus habitantes hacían siempre dos trabajos a la vez. Un día la cartera malabarista y el pastelero astrónomo se marcharon, y los oficios que antes parecían sencillos empezaron a complicarse Pequeñisimo es un canto al divertimento y una reclamacion sin complejos de situaciones absurdas y disparatadas que, en la vida real podrian presentarse -y quizas habra quien las haya experimentado-. Esta entretenida y provocadora historia nos ofrece a lo largo de las paginas una relacion de disparidad entre la palabra y la imagen que pone al lector frente a situaciones inverosimiles y provoca una duda final que habra que resolver, confrontando realidad y ficcion. Ante esta original propuesta, aparentemente ludica y sencilla, el pequeño lector tendra que sacar conclusiones tras reflexionar, a conciencia y de acuerdo con su particular criterio, quizas con la sensatez de una persona adulta o tal vez con la inocencia propia de un lector en formacion.
