He does not see a difference between fantasy and reality. He is sure that we live in a fantastic country and that he does not need to think out anything because it is enough just to look around.
Fantasy is interesting for him only as a method. The fiction in his works only reflects the reality.

Having a bright and recognizable style, he describes the reality with a unique irony.
