The effect of this collection is the opposite.
Here are collected love stories of both recognized and, possibly, future classics: Tolstoy, Bunin, Chekhov, Platonov, Aksenov, Bitov, Kabakov, Sakhnovsky, Prilepin, Slavnikova, Bykov. And unlike The Paradox of Love, there will certainly be a story here that describes a love experience unknown to the reader. Acquaintance through the Internet, attraction to a cousin, painful adultery, frog princesses and beautiful princesses. A real encyclopedia of passion in Russian. In full accordance with the traditions, in the masculine and “natural” version – with the dominance of men (they own 15 stories out of 17) and without homosexual offshoots. Dancing in a squatting unrestrained Russian Eros. Open and dance from anywhere.
