Valerian Pidmohylnyi wanted to write a novel in which a woman would be the ship's master. And he wrote A Small Drama, a novel about new relationships, new life, new morality, and eternal questions that arise in the unexpected curiosities of the age of technological progress. Fierce irrational passion or cold rational calculation - who will emerge victorious from the fight? Is victory even possible if both love and suffering are just standard protein reactions? Pidmohylnyi skilfully plays out a small drama on the chamber stage, the name of which is life. This is one of the best philosophical novels in twentieth-century Ukrainian literature.
