professions, which helped him to thoroughly "study human nature." The characters of his heroes are deep and multifaceted; he is recognizable for his light style and language at the level of feelings.
The collection of short stories "Night Violet" immerses the reader into the everyday life of small provincial towns with great intensity. Behind the mask of measured life, serious passions are boiling. High ideals are shattered by callousness and selfishness, and base vices hide behind beautiful exteriors. Love here is not a pure, exalted feeling. No, it clouds the mind, making the heroes commit reckless acts—and ultimately breaks destinies. No one will remain the same. Even if they endure.
The book includes the short stories "Loneliness," "Lenochka," "Seasickness," and "Night Violet," as well as the novellas "In Darkness," "Sulamith," and "Holy Love."
