This is an automatically translated description

The short story is aerobatics, the pinnacle of a prose writer's skill, and rare authors dare to work in this genre. Marina Yeshchenko has succeeded in her collection Good Memory. Her characters are Ukrainians who have experienced severe war trauma and are trying their best to maintain their will to live, mental stability and optimism. Behind each story of two or three pages, there is a real life story in all its depth and drama. Everything here is complex and ambiguous, the writer does not offer trivial solutions, and the true deep pathos of her prose is sometimes deliberately hidden behind irony and verbal play.
