Безпризорни ангели

Stories about the ordinary, level-headed people who make up most of the world, told with irony, humour and a touch of cynicism, while stray angels, cherubs, archangels and assorted fallen heroes slip in among them. Angel, who considers his neighbours idiots, works night shifts beside a potato-peeling machine, downs a dozen coffees to stay awake, and must earn his name with a new white Passat. Alma turns into Dushka and back into Alma; a forbidden love turns deadly on a failed hunt; a porn actor becomes the victim of his films while a viewer staring at him misses his own life. There are also an angel's sin and repentance, the secrets of women's hearts, love at first and later sight, and a little army life.
