This is an automatically translated description

&Lining Up for Holy Water is a book of meanings, observations, and interesting conversations that give us a different perspective on seemingly ordinary phenomena, a look behind the scenes of what we encounter almost every day, or a slice of something little known: From McDonalds, Catherine the Great, Gogol, Vincent van Gogh and Depardieu to gender issues and mathematics, eroticism and cuisine in Ukrainian life, orgasm and love, a descendant of Genghis Khan, poetic jazz performance and Ukraine's own Ukraine.

One short story and 25 essays are grouped into four semantic sections: "Tender for brands", "My Ukraine", "Eros in an embroidered shirt", and "A traveller does not keep a fast". And to make it easier for the reader to tune in to the appropriate "wave", both the book and each of its chapters begin and end with the author's poems or her translations from other poets.
