Nina Sadur's prose is often compared to fragments of a mirror, reflecting life not directly, but with transformations, so that in any small story a lot is seen and guessed. This is the prose of borderline states and strange heroines who do not dramatically coincide with “ordinary life”, and often fight with it alone, without hope of understanding. Nature did not provide them with a shield to shield them from vulgarity and cynicism, but instead of a sword gave them only a “needle of love” - a genuine and sincere feeling. Nina Sadur’s new book includes the novel “The German”, the stories “Children in a Cage” and “ South", story "Needle of Love". This is the prose of borderline states and strange heroines who do not dramatically coincide with “ordinary life”, and often fight it - alone, without hope of understanding - with authenticity and sincerity of feelings.
