The second edition of Serhiy Osoka's book of short fiction «Night Swims in August» is supplemented by a number of new works that will definitely please fans of his talent.

This book is the most convincing proof that we all come from childhood. In Serhiy Osoka's stories and images, the anatomy of a child's soul is dissected by an adult soul that has not yet become an adult, but does not really want to. Hence the extreme, even transcendent, sincerity. The reader believes the narrator unconditionally - as if it were a black-and-white photograph from his or her own childhood. Because all these seemingly ordinary, traditional, everyday stories, the fates and feelings of adults - relatives, fellow villagers, and "strangers" - that are touched by the child's sensitivity, are about everyone. And to everyone who remembers and cherishes the Child - with its discoveries and wonder at the world, with its acute pain and disappointments, with its primary love for life and people.
