«The Life Machine» is a collection built in an unconventional way, a wreath of stories. There are fourteen of them - as many as there are sonnets in the wreath, and they pass the baton to each other in the same way: each next story begins exactly as the previous one ended. And this is justified - the whole book is about Kyiv, the Eternal City, a continuous and sometimes unexpected story about its very different people and unique atmosphere. The famous writer Maryna Hrymych said this about The Machine of Life: "The author writes not about the heroes of our time, but about average Kyiv residents. This book contains a lot of us and about us. Because, as one of the dialogues in the collection says: "All new Kyivans enter Kyiv through the Golden Gate... And how do they leave?... They don't leave! This is where we all stay. Forever."
