The story “Holy Week” by the famous St. Petersburg writer, poet and songwriter Lev Kuklin (1931–2004) is one of five stories unpublished during the author’s lifetime. This is a parting gift from a Man who has the rare ability to write about love and sensual relationships between a Man and a Woman with a piercing note of tenderness. But “Holy Week” is a story not so much about love as about an unexpected passion that completely covered the main character and shook up her established life , to which she could no longer return. This seems to be a private story, but in it many will probably be able to recognize the familiar notes of their stories of “love obsession.”
