The Real Thing

"I write stories about love, which in itself is the ultimate reward, if it is neither painful, nor mad, nor exhausting to the soul. Sometimes I invent beautiful settings for it – houses, cars, lawns, and sometimes I don’t invent any settings at all, there are plenty of stories where the heroes live in panel buildings and work, say, in a hospital!.. It seems to you in a hurry that they are all about cinderellas. Nothing of the sort". Tatiana Ustinova
