An inspiring experience

Collection of short stories "Light Worlds", Tatiana Tolstaya

This collection contains many stories from the life of the writer herself. The book is suitable for the first acquaintance with her work. She has a light syllable, as well as an excellent sense of humor, which, in fact, allows her not to be shy in choosing expressions. The writer easily communicates with the reader in “you”, thereby creating the impression of being nearby. It’s as if you’ve been driving together in a compartment carriage for a long time, picturesque landscapes flash outside the window, you laugh, drink tea with bergamot, and she shares her life experience with you. The collection itself includes stories, essays and stories about the author's childhood, about life in New York and Moscow, as well as about the peculiarities of the national Russian character and about the witchcraft properties of Russian speech.

We can safely say that this novel is amazing. It amazes with its uniqueness. The novel is filled with humor and meaning, a bright and loud image for the author is much nicer than such a ghostly thing as plot logic.
