Be a man

The new book of one of the best modern English writers Nicole Krauss ("Chronicle of Love", "in the gloomy forest") is a collection of stories, which as they read turns into a single work. His heroes - men and women, young and elderly, parents and children - people whom the reader finds in the turning points of their life, whom they have been waiting for many years, sometimes not realizing this. And all the most important thing happens in views, fleeting gestures or subtle intonations. The texts echo, stretch the thin lines of relations to each other, wiping individual stories into a single narrative: about relationships, their origin and decay, about memory, Jewry, power, love, about the severity of the past and the search for new experience
