About the book: 2024 year / What is binding? And magical too? A polysemantic word, this very binding. The binding is what holds the book together. So our stories came together in the collection “Magic Binding”. We are all very different. There are professional writers among us, and there are also those for whom participation in the collection is their debut in the world of literature. The binding is also the intertwining of destinies. We live in different cities, in different regions of the country. Moscow and the city of Ramenskoye in the Moscow region, Perm and the city of Berezniki in the Perm region, Rostov-on-Don and the city of Belaya Kalitva in the Rostov region, Voronezh and the city of Buturlinovka in the Voronezh region, Penza, the Republic of Mordovia - our geography is extensive. But despite the distance separating us, we were united by a common goal - our collection. Binding is, among other things, a sudden, unplanned adventure. Well, this meaning of the word suits us too. After all, the path from the conception of the collection to its publication was thorny and complicated. But we made it through!
