"Elena will have a tede have their own unique optics. She, like, perhaps, no one knows how to see deep tragedy in the most ordinary life situations, in the faded details of the life of ordinary people. These stingy events, simple, grayish stories cause some strange, cosmic despair, tears are blown up to the eyes, you wipe them and think in surprise: what is so special, why does it work like that? It is not clear how and why. This is generally the property of real large literature - it is not clear how it works. Beautiful, wise and, through sadness, a very bright book. Bright-not because it comforts or somehow pleases, no. It just somehow becomes good from the thought that there is a person who can see reality like that. ” And you do not notice the seams, gullibly floating with a thorough and imaginary-shy story. "
