About the book: year / The term “essay” only approximately defines the unique genre in which Olga Shamborant writes. Her miniatures, ranging in genre from poetry to prose to poisonous journalism, they carry enormous information about life and create the amazing effect of the simultaneous and voluminous existence of all layers of existence. “Experiments on Yourself” is a highly unexpected, merciless, bitter and bright book, full of love. Not to yourself. But to the person. To each of us.
