..the quirky world of small human adventures. The random meetings, model situations that happen to everyone encourage one to reflect, make decisions, and act. Some of these texts reflect actual experiences, while others are completely fictitious – sheer macabre and phantasmagoria. Which are which?

In his typical "telegraph" style, Hemingway records events often avoiding to speak about the key things. But the spacious and unexpected details and images create such a particular atmosphere that from these laconic and gracefully expressive texts the author appears to us as a master of short prose.

The artistic innovation of Ryabchuk the prose writer, whose works are characterized by the paradox and elegant irony combined with sympathy, lyricism, and light melancholia, has still not been properly appreciated. His short stories highlight tragedies of a little individual in a totalitarian society, which still remains relevant nowadays.

Here, love appears as a multifaceted and incomprehensible feeling that is not logical, that elevates an individual over the routine making him/her free and dependent at the same time – a feeling that gives and takes. A feeling that one needs to have experienced to consider him/herself human.

..In that world, the reader, the characters, and the author get interwoven as a single tangle, a node of sheer nerves, from which shapes of Yerevan, streets, districts, objects, and traditions leap here and there.

The events narrated by Vasyl Makhno in his debut collection of short prose take place at different times and in different continents, but no matter who narrates the story – a man in his fifties, an elderly widows, or a small boy – one believes them. These are impartial stories about fates of very different people, honest and devoid of pathos.
