Boris is a very good writer. This book reminds me of Schiller's play, The Robbers. He must be a very interesting person!

I do not usually like short stories, but when they are about our lives, honest and unembellished, reflecting the bitterness of people, they capture something profound. The reading left my heart feel warm because it is all about us, everyday people, it really resonated deeply.

Honestly, I can say that I have not read any better contemporary tale in recent years. The book left a deep impression on me.
It will outlive you, and, like fine wine, become more valuable with each passing decade.
