The book contains three different genres: tragicomedy, novella and short stories. In the play “Matilda Booms” it is quite difficult to distinguish in which life situations the main character actually participates, and which ones she only imagined in a dream. However, everywhere she painfully searches for a way out of seemingly hopeless situations... The story “The Man from the Storage Luggage” leads to the events of the late 80s of the last century. The main character has set a goal for himself to become a writer. He persistently pursues this goal, unexpectedly receives full support and meets his first love... The stories are dedicated to the difficult life of a creative person in the conditions of capitalism and a market economy.
