With and Without Lint

This sentimental and insightful book, on the verge of autobiographical prose and lyrical stand-up, will evoke a knowing smile from the female audience and excited curiosity from the male audience. The book can be read by anyone who wants to... understand what life is - beautiful and terrible, ordinary and incredible, harsh and tender. Real. It's curious to peek into the author's mind, like into a wardrobe where various fragments of this life are stored, with and without lint. The book by Ekaterina Podleskikh, the creator of the author reading club "Out Loud. About Myself," is written easily, with self-irony, warmth, and love for life. And charmingly. Of course, only a real woman can compare uncomfortable shoes to a personal situation that has reached a dead end. And only a wise woman will try to understand the problems of men (with women), children (with parents), orcas (with the ocean), and even a stabilized hydrangea in which she suddenly recognized herself... Read and smile. "There is some feminine witchcraft, charms, and other magic in these texts." Evgenia KUDINOVA, General Director, "Russian Pioneer" "This book resembles the album of a talented impressionist. Every page presents a new mood. Transparent watercolor, play of light and shadow - and you are already captivated by the plot and empathizing with the character." Galina KUSHNAREVA, journalist, speaker, public speaking coach, co-author of the book "And What?"
