About the book: 2023 / Two views, male and female, which are reflected, refracted and lost in each other, like reflections in the shifted mirror doors in childhood . Intertwined like the fingers of lovers in moments of pleasure. As part of Dmitry Bykov's short story course, my beloved woman had to write a story - a description of the pleasure of food or sex. While she was writing, I decided that I would also write on the given topic. And I wrote my story. These two stories have something in common with each other (surprisingly true!) - it turned out to be a kind of diptych. That's why we decided to include them in one book.
