What is a writer willing to do to create a bestseller? How to saddle a rebellious Pegasus? How to deceive Death itself? Can a flea become a beloved pet? Perhaps we underestimate our dogs? Can cars be more humane than humans? In front of you a collection of short stories, each one like a reflection in a distorted mirror: familiar, but warped, a bit stranger, a bit more truthful than one would like. The Ukrainian author observes the world with irony and an eye for detail those very little things behind which the real meaning hides. These are stories about us just seen from an unusual angle.
