Внукът на Хемингуей

Short stories that take the reader, now sadly and now with a joke, through ordinary days and past people we hurry by without seeing: a woman on a bench who may be mad, a child sick with loneliness and incomprehension, lovers in the café on the corner. Each story catches its people from the one side that defines them best. A chimney sweep brings luck that was ordered and delivered, a poem is given away in a story about something sold for a single lev, a kitten recalls the writer's first story, a swallow and a journey to the underworld end in surprise and grief, and a stammerer's drama is told with humour. One story explains how to write a haiku; the title story and others first won readers online.
