"Историите в тази книга са като димящо черно кафе. Топли. Ароматни. Държащи нащрек сетивата ви. Написани с майсторство и жесток усет към детайла. Истории, които с една подвеждаща лекота заплитат в себе си ироничното, трагичното и в известен смисъл, мистичното. Градски разкази, с някакви вътрешни устои, абсолютно нетипични за психодрамата на градското съществуване.

На невъзможни любови и още по-невъзможни примирения. Истории с вкус към асиметричността на ... |
