Every story by Andrei Lazarchuk is a world, often scary, but extremely real and honest, without giveaways. In some of them it is very difficult, if not impossible, to survive, others are very similar to our ordinary life, but shifted, refracted. For the first time, this book contains all the stories and stories with brief comments by the author, and for the first time the famous essay "The Golem Wants to Live" was printed.
