"Yaroslav Melnyk, a person of whimsical fate, is referred to by foreign critics as a mystic and neosymbolist. In the prose book by this Ukrainian writer, who resides on the crossroads between Lithuania and France, the reader will encounter a hypnotic shift in the everyday reality familiar to us, which enables spiritual liberation and exiting – via catharsis – into another "parallel" reality.
A house where rooms disappear; a cinema séance that has no end; a father who speaks to his son from nowhere... Intellectual saturation of the surreal prose by Y. Melnyk makes it possible to approach reflection of the archetypes of the Father, God, Mother, and Motherland. Remarkable features of short stories and novellas by Yaroslav Melnyk are the tight plot, subtlety of psychological analysis, and the "classical" complete form rare in our time."

Ярослав Мельник не дак давно увійшов в моє життя , проте вже встиг стати для меня улюбленим письменником. Його книги не схожі на інші, в них є щось таке, що повністю змінює ваші душевні переживання, дає змогу переосмислити сутність свого буття і людство взагалі. Дехто відносить його до фантастів, проте я б сказаа, що це філософська література з відтінком химерності і фантастики. "Чому я не втомлююся жити?", "Далекий простір", "Телефонуй мені, говори зі мною" - ці книги створені для тих, хто любить задавати питання.
