Груші в тісті

Autobiographical tales of youth, poetry, black-market dealing, Lviv, the army and love, which together form a roughly chronological story. The narrator remembers the coffee-house gatherings of the city's young bohemians, their cheerful and not always innocent pranks, their literary fantasies and his poet friends, among them Hryts'ko Chubai. Against a Soviet power they have to live alongside, the young Lviv intellectuals hold on to their sense of national and cultural identity, which lets them stay themselves through hopeless scrapes and trials.
