This is an automatically translated description

This book of short stories completes the trilogy by Anatoliy Dnistrovyi, which is set in the town of Budycha, a fictional town invented by the author.

"Grey Peina", the first book of the trilogy, tells about the life of provincial bohemians - artists, models and poets. In Ghosts (the second book of the trilogy), the protagonist's longing for creativity leads him to the city of his youth, where everything has changed beyond recognition.

The novels and short stories included in Budych's First Cue continue to tell Budych's stories, their time period spanning from the mid-1980s to the present day. There is a gangster billiard room and its visitors in the late 1980s, provincial journalists and schoolchildren, eccentric intellectuals, reclusive pensioners...

It is with these temporal and ideological clashes that the author marks important moments of transformation in Ukrainian society, and allows us to look back into a particular era with him.
