From the publisher:
The fates of the characters in both novels reflect our history, which is not so long ago, almost yesterday. The main characters are people of the so-called free professions.
In Stigma, the protagonist is an artist who was lucky enough to escape from a socialist realism concentration camp and become a famous artist in exile. His return to the new Ukraine, to his father's house, is exciting, though not without problems."
The novel Shakespeare's Ghost features directors, actors, high-ranking civil servants, and the military. In this theatrical, somewhat masquerading world, provincial and metropolitan, genuine passions rage, without which life is not so interesting and dramatic.
