The world, compressed to the size of the room where the books are re -read, are leafed through the pages of the diary, old love and friendship are experienced. Emotional memory includes a lot, including black holes in the place of dear people who have gone forever. And all these are the material from which the stories and memoir essays that made up this book are created.
