Има ли кой да ви обича

Sixteen stories unfold in a metropolis that is not quite the one we know: it resembles a town out of a fairy tale, full of secrets, whose bright, stagey scenery sets off odd and profound dramas, told with gentle humour. In one, a lecturer who works among microscopes and cultures is consumed by a forbidden passion for a good-looking student who seems out of reach only because everyone believes he is, until, hopeless, she resolves to kill him with poison. In another, a poor man picks through what the city throws away, spotting treasures that people blinded by social prejudice overlook, and finds a packet of love letters someone has thrown out. The author calls it a book written for no market at all, only for his own thoughts and feelings.
