The story “On Mom” by the famous St. Petersburg writer, poet and songwriter Lev Kuklin (1931–2004) is one of five stories unpublished during the author’s lifetime.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. A somewhat provocative title, which, however, has nothing to do with the topic of incest (although the mother appears in the story), seems to prepare the reader for that objective frankness with which the author tells an intimate story that happened to the main characters.
