By Шамякин Иван Петрович
Раман Івана Шамякіна «Атланты і карыятыды» ў свой час набыў фенаменальную папулярнасць не толькі ў Беларусі. Здольнасць пісьменніка пранікаць у побыт савецкага грамадзяніна - партыйнага работніка, старшыні калгаса, дойліда, медыка - прынесла яму заслужаную вядомасць. Партрэт галоўнага героя - архітэктара Максіма Карнача - шмат у чым спісаны з сябра Івана Шамякіна, драматурга Андрэя Макаёнка, вядомага сваім жыццялюбствам, гумарам, прыхільнасцю да жанчын. Пісьменнік проціпаставіў свету чыноўнікаў і бяздарных архітэктараў накшталт Макаеда людзей творчых, жывых, шчырых. І пераканаў чытача, што менавіта яны - сапраўднае апірышча грамадства, яго атланты і карыятыды.
