“It all started two years ago, when I desperately wanted to talk to men. This desire fell upon me one night, while all the decent girls were already sleeping for a long time, and not sitting in the kitchen and thinking about men. Walking with my bare feet on the cool tiles, I tried to decipher my thoughts, looking at the reflection of the kitchen set in the dark windows. Wearing a long transparent T-shirt and a cup of tea, I suddenly realized that I had never really listened to a man before. Thus began my journey of 200 stories. Exactly 200 and one man, having discussed the conditions in advance (no real names, no photos or videos), told me about things that are never spoken about out loud. They revealed to me their darkest corners of the soul, allowed me to touch the most painful memories from the past and invited me into the experiences closest to my heart. Sometimes they are beautiful, sometimes they are downright vicious. I recorded all these confessions on a tape recorder - the men knew that later it would turn out to be a book. And these were not just interviews, these were the destinies that I happened to live.”
