This is an automatically translated description

From the publisher:

The unexpected (and sometimes inevitable) twists of fate experienced by the characters of the novel "Trying to Live" are somehow connected with the first uncertain statehood steps of Ukraine. Attempts to live in new, sometimes paradoxical circumstances bring people of different professions, training, and experience to test the strength of their characters, beliefs, and morals.

The plots of the stories "The Footman's Waltz", "Mercator Projection", "Stuntmen" and others will lead you to the Ukrainian hinterland during the underground impulses of social change, to Central Park in the heart of New York, to the backstage of the film world, to the jungle of extreme feelings and actions. Love, hate, friendship, betrayal, hope coexist in life without asking whether we like this neighbourhood or not.
