The book is compiled from stories - winners of the CWS Literary Workshops competition, created several years ago by the writer Maya Kucherskaya and philologist Natalya Osipova. The compiler of the collection is Sukhbat Aflatuni. The range of themes and plots is the widest. These are love stories, family dramas (and comedies), childhood, old age, and office - polar - canning everyday life... Moscow traffic jam and Parisian cemetery. Fantasy and pure realism. The stories have one thing in common: the author’s precise vision, the ability to say briefly about many things and comprehensively about different things.
