A collection of stories from which a self-critical portrait of the author gradually emerges, with traits of provincial insularity and cosmopolitanism, pettiness and generosity. At the same time it is a group portrait of a few dozen more or less fully drawn residents of a district of Cherkasy, and of their attempts to survive the unexpected passage from late Soviet to early independent Ukraine, in a place everyone always wanted to escape from.
